Configure Application Insights option not shown

While following the documented steps to configure Application Insights for my ASP.NET MVC website, I was already blocked on the first step:

  • Step 1: Add the Application Insights SDK: Right-click your web app name in the Solution Explorer, and choose Configure Application Insights

In Visual Studio 2017, ‘Configure Application Insights’ is no longer a separate option on the context menu. Instead you can access it through the Connected Services:

To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete .
