When I start VS 2017, I get a message about an exception written to the activity log.
The message is:
SetSite failed for package [VaDebuggerToolsPackage]Source: 'VaDebuggerToolsAsync' Description: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at

This started happening after the most recent update (2301).
I have the following option set in the Options (seems related to the DebuggerToolsPackage):
