How can I abort a long operation in WinDbg?

Often WinDbg will enter a state where it is *Busy* performing an operation.

Often this is due to some mistake I made trying to dt some_variable_itll_never_find or setting a break point somewhere without symbols or the 1000's of other mistakes I make fumbling around this tool.

Is there a way to cancel the current operation?

In WinDbg, use Debug | Break or press CTRL+BREAK. In kernel-mode debugging, you can cancel commands from the keyboard of the target computer by pressing CTRL+C. You can use the . cls (Clear Screen) command to clear all of the text from the Debugger Command window.

I don't have the tool now, but as far as I remember it should be Ctrl+Break.

Sometimes Ctrl+Break doesnt work. At that point you may use Debug menu -> Break.
