Does anyone know how to get ahold of windbg without having to download the entire 620MB WDK ISO?
All I can find on the net to download the debugger is this link, which says you have to get the whole WDK: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx.

Navigate to your installation directory, and open WinDbg.exe. On the File menu, choose Open Executable. In the Open Executable dialog box, navigate to the folder that contains notepad.exe (typically, C:\Windows\System32). For File name, enter notepad.exe.
You can exit WinDbg by choosing Exit from the File menu or by pressing ALT+F4. If you are performing user-mode debugging, these commands close the application that you are debugging, unless you used the -pd command-line option when you started the debugger.
Get started using WinDbg. On the host computer, open WinDbg and establish a kernel-mode debugging session with the target computer. In WinDbg, choose Contents from the Help menu. This opens the debugger documentation CHM file.
Actually, Microsoft has now made the Debugging Tools downloadable separately from the SDK. Look for the section "Standalone Debugging Tools for Windows (WinDbg)" about mid-page:
for Windows 8.1
for Windows 10
