Hi,

I've been trying to install debugging tools according to the official pages but there is no Debuggers folder created and I cannot find windbg.exe anywhere in the system.

I tried installing through the winsdksetup.exe installer.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

    Hi Sonny, I am Rob, an independent and a 14 time and dual award MVP specializing in Windows troubleshooting and Bluescreen analysis.

If you will work with me I will be here to help until the issue is resolved.

    The default folder for Windows 64 bit systems is :

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers

    There is both a x86 and x64 bit sub-folder in that folder. Use either.

    If your version of Windows is 32 bit (x86) it will be :

    C:\Program Files\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers

    I was referring to the docs by Microsoft.

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/debugger-download-tools

    However, I tried installing the WDK (Driver kit) and it seems to have worked. I can find the Debuggers folder under C:/Program Files(x86)/Windows Kits/10/Debuggers.

    Sorry for the false alarm and thank you for the quick response.

    Happy New Year!.

    Best regards,

    Sonny
