I'm afraid there is no easy way to change the default project settings as the projects are auto generated when you import a NCS example into SES. Maybe if you modify the \ncs\v1.4.2\toolchain\segger_embedded_studio\html\create_nordic_project.py.py script. The debugger configuration appear to be defined at line ~408:

    if start != -1 and end != -1:
        inputs = out[start + 14:end].strip().split("\n")
        xml.append('  <project Name="zephyr/merged.hex">')
        line = ('    <configuration Name="Common"'
                ' debug_initial_breakpoint="z_cstart"'
                ' debug_start_from_entry_point_symbol="No"'
                ' project_dependencies="all(build)"'
                ' external_build_file_name="$(ProjectDir)/zephyr/merged.hex"')

Gotcha. It seems that the "Configure NRF Connect Project" option overwrites this value. Is there a way to override that behavior?

Hello,

Please try to change debugger settings as shown in the screenshot below. This should disable the automatic breakpoint on startup.
