Recently we upgraded from TFS 2013 to TFS 2017 and had therefor create new build definitions on our build server. I have created a new build definition that builds several solutions. The build should be Release|Any CPU. Instead the solution is built in Debug, or better to say, it seems to be different for different projects within that solutions.
I think I configured the build definition correct. When starting the build with verbose logging I can see this:

So, for me it looks like it should build in Release|Any CPU. In the solution itself I can see in the VS Confiugration Manager the "RELEASE" configuration on the solution should build each project also as "RELEASE".
This is how we configured the TFS build:
Any idea what can cause this problem?
