WinDbg Preview is a new version of WinDbg with more modern visuals, faster windows, and a full-fledged scripting experience. WinDbg Preview is using the same underlying engine as WinDbg today, so all the commands, extensions, and workflows still work as they did before. Remember what you've done and retain long outputs which can't be kept in WinDbg's buffer. Once Windows reboots, it reclaims the memory dump data from the pagefile and saves it to a file, which usually ends with the .dmp extension. %����

It come handy when debugging in a production enviornment as it is light weight. Command Purpose.logopen: create a log file.logclose: close the log file.dump: save crash dump file (snapshot of the current debugging session) Working with symbols. It will display a heap info for each logical processor, so if you have hyper threading on a dual core machine you would see four heaps. ���2B�u3:{����:���h�h�{.

Over the course of the last year I have been tasked with analyzing our production environments, specifically looking at performances issues, hangs and crash analysis using the After loading these extension you now have access to commands that will allow you to analyze the hang dump.

This can be important for threads that are blocked, it is important to remember that it only covers .NET locks.Dumps the HttpContexts found on thread and lists the URI in various states of request and response.Having the tools and commands is one thing, understanding context is a whole other question, if you need help with that I would strongly recommend visiting the blog of
Very useful if you want to know if a specific thread is consuming way more time than other threads.This command sequence is designed to show the .NET call stack for all threadsTells us how many threads are waiting for a lock MonitorHeld. stream
Here are the basic commands I tend to use for high memory, high CPU/hangs, and app crashes.What objects are consuming the memory, that have not been collected, first column output is the method table which is an index to the type of object.Dumps out a list of all objects of that type (based on method table, first column output is the address.A short cut for !dumpobj and shows properties of the specific objects including the objects value.This command detects which objects reference this address. Useful for tracking down what might have a reference to stubborn objects.This command shows CPU Usage percentages, be careful using this on multi use boxes, CPU is a function of the is CPU if this is not a dedicated box.This extension display information about the time consumed by each thread.
