How To Obtain Windbg for Windows 2019?

_{Wednesday, July 17, 2019 1:24 AM}

Hi,

How do I obtain the Windows debugger for Windows 2019?
I did a web search but ended up finding pages for Windows 10.
I appreciate any pointers.

I also appreciate pointers to the symbol files.

This is probably basics for experienced developers, but I am kind of lost.

Hi,

The download link is right. Download the SDK.

You only need to click DOWNLOAD THE INSTALLERoption. Then it will be installed in Windows Server.

Hello,

The pages for Windows 10 also applies/works for the Windows Server versions.

1. Download the Windows 10 SDK.

2. Run it and select the Debugging Tools for Windows.

3. Install the Debugging Tools for Windows.

Here's also a guide you can follow (also works for Windows Server 2019):
Installing windbg on Windows 2016 Server

Best regards,
Leon

Thank you for trying to extend your hand.
I tried to follow the steps in "Installing <g class="gr_ gr_57 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling" data-gr-id="57" id="57">windbg</g> on Windows 2016 Server," however when I tried to download WDK, it threw me to Windows 10 page. I will keep looking around.

The SDK you need is the Windows 10 one, there is no separate one for Windows Server.
