BSOD Thread not being answered? Here's why...
InformationTo debug crash dump files analysts need to download symbols from Microsoft to be able to analyse each individual dump file. While Windows 10 is still in Preview flights most symbols are unavailable.
If you're wondering why your BSOD thread isn't receiving any answers don't worry, you're not being ignored. As it stands at the moment the required symbols needed for debugging Windows 10 crash dump files are unavailable, this makes debugging nigh on impossible. A typical readout from WinDBG is posted below:
Code:Loading User Symbols ************* Symbol Loading Error Summary ************** Module name Error ntoskrnl The system cannot find the file specified You can troubleshoot most symbol related issues by turning on symbol loading diagnostics (!sym noisy) and repeating the command that caused symbols to be loaded. You should also verify that your symbol search path (.sympath) is correct. ******************************************************************************* * * * Bugcheck Analysis * * * ******************************************************************************* Use !analyze -v to get detailed debugging information.

When Windows 10 goes RTM the required symbols will presumably be available, I have asked Microsoft when they will be available but have yet to receive an answer. So please don't think you're being ignored, you're not! And as soon as the symbols are available we'll be here to help you solve your BSODs.
