The Registers window is available only if address-level debugging is enabled in the Options dialog box, Debugging node, General category.

To reduce clutter, the Registers window organizes registers into groups. If you right-click the Registers window, you will see a shortcut menu containing these groups, which you can display or hide as you see fit following the procedure below.

Note

The dialog boxes and menu commands you see might differ from those described in Help depending on your active settings or edition. To change your settings, choose Import and Export Settings on the Tools menu. For more information, see Customizing Development Settings in Visual Studio.

To display or hide register groups

  1. Right-click the Registers window.

  2. On the shortcut menu, select the register groups you want to show or hide.

    Register groups that are not supported by the hardware you are debugging on are disabled on the shortcut menu, so they cannot be selected.
