.abandon (Abandon Process)

The .abandon command ends the debugging session, but leaves the target application in a debugging state. This returns the debugger to dormant mode.

.abandon [/h|/n] 

Parameters

/h

Any outstanding debug event will be continued and marked as handled. This is the default.

/n

Any outstanding debug event will be continued unhandled.

Environment

This command is only supported in Windows XP and later versions of Windows.

Additional Information

If the target is left in a debugging state, a new debugger can be attached to it. See Re-attaching to the Target Application for details. However, after a process has been abandoned once, it can never be restored to a running state without a debugger attached.
