Why is debug not working on Visual Studio?

Question

I'm just a begginer with C#, I wanted to start to code but when I try to debug my code, the debug part is not avaiable to be used, I'm not sure what's wrong with the app or if it's a problem with my computer, which runs Windows 11

Hope you can help me out.

Thanks in advance.

I tried to uninstall visual studio several times, also watched some videos related to it but it was a complete waste of time.

Check to see if you are running in debug mode or release mode.
