For more information, see Setting CDB Paths on Windows. Note: To use the debugging tools for Windows, you must install them and add the Symbol Server provided by Microsoft to the symbol search path of the debugger. If the debugger you want to use is not automatically detected, select Tools > Options > Kits > Debuggers > Add to add it. Make sure to select the cloned kit for your project. Note: If you need to change the debugger to use for an automatically detected kit, you can Clone the kit and change the parameters in the clone. You need to set up the debugger only if the automatic setup fails, because the native debugger is missing (as is usually the case for the CDB debugger on Windows, which you always must install yourself) or because the installed version is not supported (for example, when your system contains no, or an outdated version of GDB and you want to use a locally installed replacement instead).
To specify the debugger and compiler to use for each kit, select Tools > Options > Kits. The main debugger settings are associated with the kit you build and run your project with.
