Answer

Simon P Stevens picture Simon P Stevens · Jun 17, 2009

Start WinDbg from the command line using the -logo option:

windbg.exe -logo logfile.txt

That will get everything done logged to the file specified. You can find more details of the command line options here.

Or, if you are already in a debugging session, you can use the .logopen command to start logging. For more info on this command see here

Or you can click edit->Open/Close log file in the WinDbg GUI.

More info on log files is here.
