what do you mean, where did you install the symbol libraries? I do not believe there is an MS provided symbol server, you either install the symbol files, under file, path you point to that location, or you install the symbols on a server and share that space, and then point the path to that location.

I could not figure out which oath the put here to reach the Microsoft public symbol server and have a copy local on the already used symbols (don't want to download the entire store)

See doc. Related to using https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/microsoft-public-symbols

How many different systems do you have to analyze?
Win 7 and 10
I have entered this path set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=srv*DownstreamStore*https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols where DownstreamStore I replaced with a local folder but I got errors. seems I am doing something wrong. please help
Downstream store needs to be a local path on your system where the symbols will be cached.
Did so see attached results. Is this how it should look like
Crash-dump.txt
set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=srv*DownstreamStore=f:\symbolscache*https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

Add the .symbfx+.     Into the path def.
See the data, scroll down, and you should see the definition
set _NT_SYMBOL_PATH=srv*Cache*path_to_symbols_local*https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols


I would spare myself and download the Windows8/10 symbols and be done with it.
