Windows 10: Windows 10 hangs when Debug Mode is enabled

Debugging mode is an advanced troubleshooting option in Windows that helps to find and resolve errors in the system. Once enabled, system administrators can use it to connect with debuggers like Windows Debugger (or WinDbg) tool. However, some users face this issue where Windows 10 hangs when debug mode is enabled. If you are also facing this problem, then this post can help you fix it.



This problem may occur when debugging mode is enabled permanently or for a long time and it is not connected with a debugger tool. Debug mode should only be enabled when you need to connect with the debugger tool to troubleshoot and you should turn it off once the purpose is served. If debug mode remains idle, the system keeps waiting for the debugger, and it can result in a system hang. So, to resolve such an issue, you just need to disable debug mode when your work is done. This post can will help you how to do that.

Windows 10 hangs when debug mode is enabled


To solve this problem, you can disable debug mode using these two built-in options of Windows 10:

1. Using System Configuration
2. Using Command Prompt.

Let’s check these two options.

1] Using System Configuration




System Configuration tool (or MSConfig) in Windows 10 lets you access and use many important options like startup selection, BOOT Advanced options, disable Microsoft services, etc. It is also helpful in disabling debug mode. Here are the steps:

1. Click on the Search box of Windows 10
2. Type msconfig or system configuration
3. Press Enter key
4. Access Boot tab in System Configuration window
5. Uncheck Debug option in BOOT Advanced Options window
6. Press OK button
7. Click on Apply button
8. Click on the OK button
9. Restart your computer.

After that, your system should work fine.

2] Using Command Prompt




Follow these steps:

Run Command Prompt as an administrator

Execute the following command:

bcdedit -debug off

Restart your computer.

Now when you will log in to your Windows 10 computer, it shouldn’t hang and the mouse, applications, and other windows should run properly.

Hope this helps.

Enabling kernel-debug on serial cause windows 10 to hang

Hi all,

I encounter a issue that enabling kernel-debug on serial cause windows 10 to hang. The windows 10(64-bit) runs on XenServer, which can boot normally before enabling kernel-debug, and the windows 10 will stay at the boot screen once rebooting after enabling
kernel-debug on serial. I try to add serial port and remove serial port on XenServer but they can't solve it.

Does anybody encounter this issue ?

Thanks.

 

enabling JIT debugging / HP simplified not found

Hi Alex,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Let me help you.



I suggest you to follow the below procedure and check if it helps.

Just-In-Time debugging is a feature that launches the Visual Studio debugger automatically when a program, running outside Visual Studio, encounters a fatal error. Just-In-Time debugging allows you to examine the error
before the application is terminated by the operating system. The Visual Studio debugger does not need to be running when the error occurs.



To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging

In Visual Studio,

• 
  On the Tools menu, click Options.
  
• 
  In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
  
• 
  In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
  
• 
  In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types: Managed, Native, or Script.
  

To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are
required to change that key.

• 
  Click OK.

Enable S mode in Windows 10  

Ok - when time permits, I will have a crack but not at the moment.

As a suggestion, perhaps a guide subsection in the tutorials section mihht be useful i.e. guides like this that are easy enough to follow but assume sone experience?

I have written a couple of guides that people here have happily followed but they do not have every click e.g. I might say "use fix wondows boot problems"using Macrium Reflect, rather than showing every click, putting a reference to the MR Tutorial.

I could video every step and create a video more easily I suppose.
