I tried all but no success. This is what I did to make it work:

Download the debugger from https://vsdebugger.blob.core.windows.net/coreclr-debug-1-10-1/coreclr-debug-win7-x64.zip

Extract the debugger zip here:

C:\Users\<USER>\.vscode\extensions\ms-vscode.csharp-1.10.0\.debugger

It works like a charm.
