    Following the link to the store, I get "WinDbg Preview is currently not available"

    @BrianCatlin: The store takes around 24 hours to fully propagate, so it might take a bit. Also make sure you're on Windows 10 Anniversary update (14393) or newer.

    in Germany the app is now up in store, but the version crashes for me at startup (BadImageFormatException) on 32bit Windows 10 v1607 on my Toshiba encore 8 tablet.

    @MagicAndre1981: cause is that the Microsoft.Performance.Shell.dll is compiled for x64 (when I open it in JustDecompile) which can't be used on 32Bit Windows 10.

    I'm just waiting for (& betting on) someone to come back and say it's only available in the US only atm, or something like that, check the availability settings in the store, I don't believe this to be a propagation issue.

    Or better still - you could bundle it with an SDK and let us downloa....oh wait...*thumps head against wall*...........................

    cmon guys if you're going to inflict the ribbon on us at least make it quick and painless :( (<----it's a joke - really it is!)
