VT Debugger Installation Tutorial from Scratch
This tutorial guides you from scratch: BIOS setup, driver installation, and first run.
Step 1: Check CPU Virtualization Support
VT Debugger requires Intel VT-x or AMD-V support. Check via CPU-Z or Task Manager (Performance → CPU → Virtualization). Skip BIOS setup if already enabled.
Step 2: Enable Virtualization in BIOS
Reboot into BIOS/UEFI. Enable 'Intel Virtualization Technology / VT-x' (Intel) or 'SVM Mode / AMD-V' (AMD). Save and reboot.
Step 3: Download and Install VT Debugger
Download the latest version from the website. Extract and run as administrator. The kernel driver loads automatically during installation.
Verify Driver Loaded
sc query VtDbgDriver
# Output should include: STATE: 4 RUNNINGStep 4: First Run
Open VT Debugger. If it shows 'VT Status: Ready', everything is working. Click 'Attach Process' to select a target and start debugging.
Conclusion
After installation, read the 'Quick Start Guide' to learn basic debugging operations.
