I just recently found out about this project and have started to catch up on the videos. Everything has been going well until my Visual Studio Debug button randomly got replaced by an Attach button. I don't know what process I'm supposed to attach to or why it switched all of the sudden, but it won't let me debug anymore.
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

So, for some reason the .bat files don't work properly for me as well. I'm not sure why, but their effects only last in that cmd window. That is, if I open a cmd window and add something to the path, that addition can only be used in that cmd window. So if I close it and relaunch cmd, the path resets.
Because of this reason, I made some changes to the batch files. I'm doing this in the C:/HandmadeHero folder. So I put a shortcut to it on the desktop. Then inside that (where you put the handmade folder), I have a setupHandmade.bat file with the following code.
This does everything for me. It:
1. Creates the w: drive.
2. Runs the build.bat
3. Opens my editor of choice
4. Run devenv with the require argument to load the solution.
Now, as I said, the changes made in the PATH aren't sticky, so if I run the build.bat from inside Notepadd++, it wouldn't work because everything shell.bat does has been reset. So, I run shell.bat everytime from inside the build.bat batch file.
New CMD Calls:
1) start :- execute the argument and give back control to the batch file.
2) call:- call a batch file from another batch file and tell windows that after the child batch file completes, the parent batch file must continue
3) REM: remark. Like comments.
