Setting for formatting C-style comments for C#

Question

Writing C# in Visual Studio 2019. With the following construct:

/* My comment
*/

Set the cursor to the right of comment and press Enter. This gets converted to:

/* My comment
 *
*/

I'd prefer:

/* My comment

*/

After hunting around in Tools > Options, could not find the setting for this...where is it?

If the VS Text Editor options for code formatting isn't enough, you can take a look at https://www.atomineerutils.com — , Dec 08 '20 at 11:16

Open Visual Studio options and navigate to:

Text Editor ► C# ► Advanced

and uncheck Insert * at the start of new lines when writing / / comments

@Sinatr I know, but it meant doing a fancy screengrab instead of a single keypress. But if it makes you happier... :) – DavidG Dec 08 '20 at 11:29
