Debugging multiple sessions can consume resources and slow down your system. If you no longer need a debugging session, use Quit Session to detach a running process or terminate a loaded process. The debugging session is not preserved.

To quit the current debugging session:

1. In the Debugging Window, choose Debug Manage Sessions.

2. From the list in the Active Sessions Dialog Box, select the session you want to quit.

3. Click Quit Session.
or

1. In the Debugging window, click the Sessions Tab.

2. Select the session you want to quit.

3. Click the right mouse button and choose Quit Session from th e pop-up menu.

Note - The Terminate command terminates debugging of the current process, but preserves the debugging session. When you load another program, it should load faster than the first one you loaded because the session is already started.Keeping the debugging session around, however, takes up swap space. If you are running out of swap space, use Quit Session to terminate the program and quit the debugging session.
