| Debugging Tools for Windows |
When WinDbg begins a debugging session, the Debugger Command window automatically opens. The Disassembly window also automatically opens, unless you deselect Automatically Open Disassembly on the Window menu.
Whenever WinDbg discovers a source file that corresponds to the current program counter, WinDbg opens a Source window for that file. For other ways to open Source windows, see Source Path.
You can use the following menu commands, toolbar buttons, and shortcut keys to switch to these windows. That is, if a window is not open, it opens. If a window is open but inactive, it becomes active. If a window is docked and there is a floating window in front of it, the docked window becomes active but the floating window stays in front of the docked window.
