qd (Quit and Detach)

  • Article

The qd command ends the debugging session and leaves any user-mode target application running. (In CDB and KD, this command also exits the debugger itself. In WinDbg, this command returns the debugger to dormant mode.)

Environment

Item Description
Modes user mode only
Targets live debugging only
Platforms all

Remarks

The qd command detaches from a target application and ends the debugging session, leaving the target still running. However, this command is supported only on Microsoft Windows XP and later versions of Windows. On Windows 2000, qd generates a warning message and has no effect.

When you are performing remote debugging through the debugger, you cannot use the qd command from a debugging client.
