.cache (Cache Size) 

Syntax

.cache [cachesize]

Parameter

cachesize

The size of the kernel debugging cache, in MB. If you do not specify cachesize, the command displays the status of the cache. If you issue .cache 0, the cache is disabled.

 

Description

Sets the size of the cache for WinDbg KD to use for memory values. Normal operations, such as single-stepping or the GIWI1QX command, invalidate the cache. If WinDbg KD has frozen the target computer, but hardware on the target can change memory (for example, through shared memory or DMA), you must disable the cache to see the memory changes.
