Debugging Tools for Windows includes several tools in addition to the debugging engine and debugging environments. The tools are in the installation directory of Debugging Tools for Windows.
Tools and utilities
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Breakin | Causes a user-mode break to occur in a process. For help, open a Command Prompt window, go to the installation directory, and enter breakin /?. |
| DumpChk | Validate a memory dump file. |
| GFlags | Control registry keys and other settings. |
| Kill | Terminate a process. |
| List (File List Utility) | For help, open a Command Prompt window, go to the installation directory, and enter list /?. |
| Logger and LogViewer | Record and display function calls and other actions of a program. |
| PLMDebug | Use the Windows debugger to debug Windows app that run under Process Lifecycle Management (PLM). With PLMDebug, you can take manual control of suspending, resuming, and terminating a Windows app. |
| TList | List all running processes. |
| UMDH | Analyze heap allocations. |
| USBView | Display USB host controllers and connected devices. |
| USBView2 | Display USB host controllers and connected devices. For help, open a Command Prompt window, go to the installation directory, and enter USBView2 /?. |
Symbol and source tools
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| AgeStore | Remove old entries in the downstream store of a symbol server or a source server. |
| DBH | Display information about the contents of a symbol file. |
| PDBCopy | Remove private symbol information from a symbol file, and control that public symbols are included in the file. |
| SrcSrv | A source server that can be used to deliver source files while debugging. |
| SymChk | Compare executable files to symbol files to verify that the correct symbols are available. |
| SymProxy | Create a single HTTP symbol server on your network that all your debuggers can point to. This approach has the benefit of pointing to multiple symbol servers (both internal and external) with a single symbol path, handling all authentication, and increasing performance via symbol caching. Symproxy.dll is in the SymProxy folder in the installation directory. |
| SymSrv | A symbol server that the debugger can use to connect to a symbol store. For information about working with the symbol server, see Microsoft public symbols. |
| SymStore | Create a symbol store. See Using SymStore. |
Remote and proxy debugger tools
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| DbgRpc | Display Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (RPC) state information. See RPC debugging and Using the DbgRpc tool. |
| DbgSrv | A process server used for remote debugging. See Process servers (user mode). |
| DbEngPrx | A repeater (small proxy server) used for remote debugging. See Repeaters. |
| KDbgCtrl (Kernel Debugging Control) | Control and configure the kernel debugging connection. See Using KDbgCtrl. |
| KdSrv | A KD connection server used for remote debugging. See KD connection servers (kernel mode). |
| RTList (Remote Task List Viewer) | List running processes via a DbgSrv process server. For help, open a Command Prompt window, go to the installation directory, and enter rtlist /?. |
| Remote | Remotely control any console program, including KD, CDB, and NTSD. See Remote debugging by using Remote.exe. |
Installation directory
The default installation directory for 64-bit OS installations of the debugging tools is C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\. If you have a 32-bit OS, you can find the Windows Kits folder under C:\Program Files. To determine whether you should use the 32-bit or 64-bit tools, see Choosing the 32-bit or 64-bit debugging tools.
