The Debugging Tools are essential for Windows 10 and 11 developers looking to create apps and submit them to the Microsoft Store, free of serious bugs and glitches. Here’s more about it and where to download.
Debugging in Windows 10/11, just like with any other operating system, means finding and reducing the number of bugs and defects to make the app behave as expected. For that, developers have the Debugging Tools set at their disposal.
With the launch of theWindows 8.1 SDK, the DebuggingToolshas been made part of it, as this was one of the new features and updates brought byMicrosoft.
However, if you’re interested only in theDebuggingToolsforWindows 8.1, when installing theWindows 8.1SDK, you can select only the box for DebuggingTools, leaving others unchecked. As far as we know, this is the single way to install the standalone Debugging Tools forWindows 8.1component, as there are currently no individual download links.
What you can download, though, as a standalone file is theWindows Remote Debugging Client forWindows 8.1. You can use it to work remotely with developers fromMicrosoftby using the Kernel Debugger (KD).
Follow the links below to download the Windows 8.1 SDK, where you’ll need to check only the DebuggingToolsforWindows 8.1, if you need that, and the Windows Remote Debugging Client forWindows 8.1.
Debugging tools can also help fix anOAuth2 error, invalid_request; read this guide to learn more about it.
