VM resetting target when started

I have an Arduino project that runs fine except for some code bug that causes it to fail after about a week. I have a bunch of debug statements outputting variables et al to the COM port. I would like to be able to leave this project running and end VM whereupon, after it fails a week later, I'd like to bring VM up to look at the COM port data. Unfortunately, VM seems to be resetting my target when it initializes. How can I get it to stop doing that and let me see the COM data without resetting it?

I do a similar thing but I don´t rely on Visual Studio/VM as I use it for other things.
I use a terminal program called Termite and connect this to the COM port to record the data on the serial port.

If you get an exception with a stack trace you can copy this from the Termite output and, after loading your project in VM, open the com port (or IP port, it doesn´t matter). Disconnect the monitor (Connect button) and paste the stack into the monitor window. With Termite connected VM won´t be able to connect to the com port so your target won´t get reset.

The monitor will then give you the exception decoder button to see the stack trace.

Hope this helps.

The resetting of the board is likely related to the DTR/RTS settings in the Serial Monitor.  If you can attach a build log with the settings shown at the top of the page we will investigate further.

Visual Micro includes Serial Monitor Logging, which can be enabled by clicking the "Log" button in the top right of the Serial Monitor Window.

You can also edit where these files are logged, as shown on the below page (Item 17):
