WinDbg - Disable source mode

Question

I'm trying to stop WinDbg from displaying source code at all. I tried to disable by unchecking the Debug->Source Mode option but source code still appear as I step through the assembly.

What can I do to completely disable source code debugging?

I tried the following approaches without success:

1. unchecking the Debug->Source Mode option
2. .lines -d command.
3. l-t command.
4. Stepping by p and t instead of F10 and F11

Answer 1

Instead of modifying PDBs or similar, I suggest writing an AutoIt script that closes the source files.

While(True)
    CloseWinDbgSource()
WEnd

Func CloseWinDbgSource()
    WinWait("[CLASS:WinBaseClass]", ".cpp", 10)
    WinClose("[CLASS:WinBaseClass]", ".cpp")
EndFunc

Or you can patch the method windbgx86!WinBase::Create():

0:000> .dbgdbg

and then in CDB

0:000> bp windbgx86!WinBase::Create
0:000> g
[Force opening of a window here]
0:000> bc 0
0:000> a eip
ret
<Enter>
0:000> g

The benefit of that approach is that you don't need to bother with any other windows as well, since no windows will be opened any more.
