Lesson in the C Programming Roadmap · Stage 18: Debugging

Last updated 14 September 2026

What is WinDbg?

WinDbg is a debugger from Microsoft for Windows programs, capable of both live debugging and analyzing crash dump files after a program has already terminated. It is commonly used for debugging Windows-specific issues, including kernel-level and driver debugging, that other cross-platform debuggers do not handle. Its interface and command set differ significantly from GDB or LLDB, reflecting its Windows-specific origins.
