1- Close Visual Studio 2019
2- Start regedit.exe and select the node HKEY_USERS
3- File > Load Hive, navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\
you will see a folder writes a version ex 16.0_83f6bcec, enter in, there you will
find privateregistry.bin, select it and click open.
4- Regedit will ask you for a base name (is temporary) so give anything like word test
5- you will find the key test @ HKEY_USERS\test, browse at
HKEY_USERS\test\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0xxxxx\Debugger\
Create a new DWORD (32bit), name it DisableAttachSecurityWarning and set the value to 1.
6- Go back to tree and select the HKEY_USERS\test then File > Unload hive

make sure Visual Studio is not running when changing the registry key or it will be overwritten on exit with the old value

Change (or create) the following registry key to 1:

JavaScript:
//Visual Studio 2008
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Debugger\DisableAttachSecurityWarning

//Visual Studio 2010
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Debugger\DisableAttachSecurityWarning

//Visual Studio 2012
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Debugger\DisableAttachSecurityWarning

//Visual Studio 2013
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Debugger\DisableAttachSecurityWarning

//Visual Studio 2015
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\Debugger\DisableAttachSecurityWarning
