Hello,

WinDBG symbols load problem , tried to enable sym noisy, shows load path wrong
C:\myflt\w7fre\amd64\symbols\sys\Testflt.pdb
provided search path is,
C:\myflt\w7fre\amd64\Testflt.pdb

why it is looking in symbols\sys directory which is not present neither provided.

Thanks,
Sachin Shinde.

The search path should be a list of folders; (presumably) C:\myflt\w7fre\amd64\Testflt.pdb is not a folder but a file. Try specifying C:\myflt\w7fre\amd64 in the search path instead.
