Sometimes Visual Studio (VS) has a problem where the code is not changed, but every time the F5 key is pressed to run the program, it recompiles the entire project, which can be time-consuming and annoying. The solution is to set the F5 key to not recompile and instead directly launch the previously generated executable file. This can be done by going to the Tools menu in VS, selecting Options, and then choosing "Never Build" when the project is out of date during runtime.

Sometimes there are issues with VS: the code remains unchanged, but every time you press F5 to run, it will regenerate the project. If the project is large, it takes a long time and is annoying. How can you set it so that it never compiles when running with F5?

I found a solution myself: every time you press F5, it won't regenerate, it will directly launch the previously generated *.exe. Unless you manually generate a specific project or the entire solution.

The method is as follows: in the toolbar of VS, go to Tools → Options, under Projects and Solutions, Build and Run, when the project is out of date, select Never Build.
