Can't launch from Visual Studio

I had some issues with the editor crashing on launch, so I tried to delete some of the cached files. I deleted the folders Binaries, DerivedDataCache and Intermediate. The editor didn’t launch at all after this, so I restored all of those folders. Now, in Visual Basic the Launch Windows Debugger button disappeared and changed into an Attach… button:

Instead of the usual:

How can I restore this?

In solution explorer, try setting UE4 as startup project.
Right click on Engine/UE4 and select “Set as startup project”.

An Attach option is visible when your startup project type is something other than executable(a dll for example).

Set as startup project worked for me too, but not in UE5 inside the Engine folder, but in the file with the name of your project, under the Game folder.
