'How to make visual studio break only on unhandled exceptions?
On my other machines, Visual Studio always broke on errors when there was not a try/catch to handle them, but if there was a try/catch then it didn't break.
For some reason, on this laptop, it doesn't work that way. It didn't break at all at first, but then I found out how to set it to break by going to debug/exceptions. However, configuring it to break there causes it to always break on exceptions even if there is a try/catch block.
How do I make it work like I'm used to?

I cannot find the dialogue in the accepted answer.
In my experience, in Exception Settings, if you hit "Restore the list to default settings", it will not break on exceptions you handled. If you checked a particular exception in Exception Settings, then it will break regardless of whether you handles this exception in your code or not.

For a more updated answer:
When you go to the exception settings right click on the exception type you want, which for C# would probably be Common Language Runtime Exceptions, and enable the "Continue When Unhandled in User Code" setting.
For me this seemed to not break on exceptions that were handled in a try catch or otherwise, but it did break when an unhandled exception occurred. The naming of the option makes it feel a bit iffy but it seems to work exactly as you and I hoped now.

In Visual Studio 2022 in the Exception Settings (Debug > Windows > Exception Settings), there is another column (Additional Actions) that can be viewed. It is written about here in the Microsoft Docs. 
Make sure to remove the "Continue when unhandled in user code" setting in order break on any given exception.
