I'm looking for a debugger for Windows after the Visual Studio one no longer works for me (kbin.social)

After a software update, VS2022 stopped working correctly. When I hit a break point, I don't get any local variables and their values, instead I get a "wait..." label that looks like a button, and also VS is growing in memory size until it crashes my Windows, or I either stop the debugging or VS itself.

So far I get the best results by using x64dbg, but it has it's own issues, namely that almost all guides only discuss its reverse engineering capabilities, and I need a development tool, so I don't have to rely on printing to the console as debugging, which has a lot of issues (leaving in the print commands, etc). I'm programming in D, but it should work with any other debugger made for C, and up until recently I used VS for that purpose.
