My personal reminder of common debugging commands

I don’t get as many opportunities to debug as I would like, but when I do, I always forget the command that I like to use, so this is my personal document to remind me of those commands.

!sym noisy

This gives me details of symbol resolution.

.reload /f

This forces all of the symbols to be downloaded. Great for packaging the symbols to take to a location that doesn’t have internet access.

~*kb

This enumerates all of the native thread stacks.

!threads

A summary of all of the threads.

.load C:\Users\clinth\Desktop\psscor2\psscor2\amd64\psscor2.dll

This loads the PSSCOR2 debugger extension for debugging .NET applications.

~*e!clrstack

Once the PSSCOR2 extension is loaded, this command enumerates the managed .NET call stack of all of the threads.

!process 0 0

Lists all processes in a kernel dump.
