Windows 10: How do I debug Windows?

Sometimes my PC does some weird stuff. Specifically, nearly every day I have to kill and restart explorer.exe, as my start bar just stops working after i've done some combination of locking my pc, turning off my screens and then log back in.

I work as a Software Engineer, and when my software breaks I debug it until I find the fault. How do I do that in Windows? Can I even do that? How do I find why explorer has half died? Any ideas appreciated. I have written an AHK script that kills and restarts explorer.exe now to try and make this near daily issue easier to manage.

Ethernet is showing as Kernel Debug Network Adapater

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you see Kernel Debug Network Adapter in Device Manager. This can happen if debugging is turner on. I would suggest you to turn off debugging by following the steps mentioned below:

1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the
   Taskbar.
   
2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select
   Run as administrator.
   
3. Paste the following commands and hit Enter:
   
   bcdedit /debug off
   

If you still see the Network Adapter, you can disable it from Device Manager without problems. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, to open
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Network adapters.
   
3. Now, right click on the Kernel Debug adapter and select
   Disable device.
   

Let us know how it goes.

I get "just-in-time (JIT) debugging" message

Hi,

Just-In-Time debugging launches Visual Studio automatically when an exception or crash occurs in an application that is running outside Visual Studio. We suggest changing certain settings on your computer and see if it helps. Follow the steps below:

• Open Control Panel.

• Click Internet Options.
