winsyms

Download the public PDB symbols for a specific Windows release, in one command:

$ pip install winsyms
$ winsyms get 26100.1297 --scope system32

Data comes from WindowsSymbolsByVersion, which processes every Windows build published on uupdump.net and records the pdb/guid for every binary in its install image. New builds show up automatically — the CLI fetches the current index at runtime, no pip upgrade needed.

Requirements

Python 3.9+. The actual download is done by pdblister, which must be on your PATH (or pointed to via --pdblister PATH / WINSYMS_PDBLISTER):

$ cargo install --git https://github.com/ErezAmihud/pdblister

winsyms get ... --manifest-only works without pdblister installed.

Usage

$ winsyms list 24H2                    # find builds by uuid, build number, or title substring
$ winsyms get 26100.1297 --arch amd64  # all symbols for a build -> ./symbols
$ winsyms get 26100.1297 --scope system32          # only binaries under Windows/System32
$ winsyms get 26100.1297 --path-prefix windows/system32/drivers/

Run winsyms get --help for the full flag reference (output dir, symbol server, cache TTL, and more).
