Sometimes it happens that you forget to store the PDB of your application and give executable to your customers. Once you received any crash dump for your application, you might realize that PDBs are missing and WinDBG is not loading them now.
What you can do now ??
Well..you still have the source code ... you can build it again and get the 'logically correct' PDBs ... but unfortunately, our debugger does not understand this because it will look for timestamps and other checksum. Though loading new PDB is not logically wrong because it also point to exact same source ... but we need to tell this to our debugger.
Steps are here :
If you are in such a situation, please use this command series:
.symopt+ 0x40
.reload
in case if you are trying to load symbols which are in deferred state use .reload /f
