Diagnosability - WinDbg - Configure WinDbg.exe to be the JIT debugger

  • Article

This optional test is provided to help troubleshoot certain test failures and is not required for certification.

You can use this optional test to configure WinDbg.exe to be the default Just-In-Time debugger. This causes test applications to break into the debugger when they crash, to allow additional debugging. For more information, see Enabling Postmortem Debugging.
