Each time when a windows phone app has been closed the associated debug session under VS 2010 was closed too. That scenario has been working perfect until Windows 8 + WP SDK 8 was installed.
Now a debug session is not finalized under an emulator neither under a device.
Is it possible to fix this issue?
It’s a feature. The debugger remains attached to the app to allow you to easily debug background tasks. Just press the “stop” button to dettach the debugger.

I’m currently unaware of any way to disable that feature.
