How to disable UI debugging tools for Xaml in Microsoft Visual Studio

This trips me up because I don’t do it regularly enough to remember it; how to disable the XAML debugging tools widget in UWP apps:

Kind of ironic given what my next post will be.  How to disable:

1. From main menu: Tools > Options
2. In Dialog navigation (left pane): Debugging > General
3. In content pane (right hand side):
   1. Scroll to the bottom
   2. Untick “Enable UI Debugging Tools for XAML”
