Hi @wu chen ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

If you start your application by right-clicking it and choose run as administrator, will it work? Please try to navigate to the directories of those .pdb files and then right-click them > Properties > Security > Edit > and check to confirm that the related permissions have been set and assigned.

Besides, are those files blocked like following screenshot(file property page):

BTW, if there’s any permission limitation on your machine, please check and confirm that they don’t block these files from being opened.

Best Regards,
Tianyu
