After upgrading my development computer to Windows 10 my ASP.NET app has started giving a ThreadAbortException any time Response.End or Response.Redirect is called.
I understand from research that this is expected and that you can call other functions instead that won't raise the error. However I've never had to handle this error before upgrading to Windows 10. Previously I was running Windows 8.1 with .NET 4.52 and Windows 10 is now .NET 4.6 so I'm thinking that has something to do with it. So the question is why has it just now started throwing the exception and is there a way to get it to stop without converting my code.
