Debugging Magento 2.4 on windows

Question

Here is the setup:

• Magento 2.4 up and running
• Windows 10 & Xampp
• Php 7.3.25
• Xdebug enabled.Below is php.ini configuration, xdebug section

[XDEBUG]
zend_extension = "C:/xampp/php/ext/php_xdebug.dll"
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:\xampp\tmp"
;xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
xdebug.remote_log = "c:\xampp\tmp\xdebug.txt"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "c:\xampp\tmp"
;36000 = 10h
xdebug.remote_cookie_expire_time = 36000

However when I run the magento - it keeps spinning endlessly. Any help would be appreciated.

Add the below configuration in php.ini file,

 [XDebug]
 zend_extension=xdebug
 xdebug.remote_autostart=1
 xdebug.default_enable=1
 xdebug.remote_host=127.0.0.1
 xdebug.remote_connect_back=1
 xdebug.remote_enable =1
 xdebug.remote_port=9000
 xdebug.idekey=PHPSTORM
 xdebug.max_nesting_level=512

And create the new idekey name with PHPSTORM
