Getting rid of “Page <> not present in the dump file.” errors

If you’ve ever run a command that does a full memory scan against a kernel summary dump you’ve no doubt had to deal with the inevitable flood of this warning message. For example, here I try to run !irpfind against a kernel summary dump:

notpresent

The warning message output is so annoying that you spend more time wading through the lines with the warning than you do looking at useful data.

Luckily, there’s a solution: the .ignore_missing_pages command. Specify a parameter of 1 and this message will never bother you again (where “never” is either the end of the world or the next time you open WinDBG):

.ignore_missing_pages 1

If you want the message back for any twisted reason then you just need to specify a parameter of 0 to get the default behavior back:

.ignore_missing_pages 0
