Cannot find PDB file
Hello !
When I launch the Hololens Emulator via Visual Studio 3, I cannot see the Start Menu but see a turning cube.
Looking at my output, I can see that many PDB files are missing. How can I fix that ?
Thanks !

@rubanmauve,
The majority of the symbols you list (ex: shlwapi.dll) are for Windows operating system files. In general, I have found that OS symbols are most useful when developing kernel level components (drivers, etc.). I very rarely have needed these symbol files while developing my applications.
That said, the Windows team does publish symbol files. You can find more information here and here.
Thanks!
