Why does sosex!dlk run forever on Windows 7?

231 views Asked by At

We recently moved from Windows XP to Windows 7 and ever since the move I've found that I can't run the !dlk command from Sosex in WinDbg anymore, it simply runs forever. It used to be a handy way to catch deadlocks in our code.

Did something change in Sosex that I should know about?

We're on Windows 7 64 bit debugging a crash dump from a x86 process that ran on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.

In the meantime I can try and work through !syncblk, but !dlk was sooooo nice.
