Windbg "modifies" symbol path

Hi all. Im having an issue with windbg 10.0.10240.9 apparently not saving changes / making modifications to my symbol path. I make a change, to the path, save the default workspace. When I reload windbg the symbol path has several old paths prepended onto the path info I just set. Basically what I’m trying to do is put my local build path ahead of the problematic https://msdl.microsoft… URL. I do not have a _NT_SYMBOL_PATH environment var set either. Any suggestions appreciated.

I haven’t noticed this, but I haven’t specifically gone looking for this
either. Do you have paths set in your non-default workspace?

You might want to try deleting all of your workspaces and starting clean
(delete or rename HKCU\Software\Microsoft\WinDbg\Workspaces)

  1. Open WinDbg
  2. Go to File->Clear Workspace, clear Unicode symbol path and then save
    workspace (File->Save Workspace)
  3. Connect to your target, change symbol path and then save workspace
    (File->Save Workspace)

Also check your config.xml file with .settings (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn925473(v=vs.85).aspx)
