On the Microsoft doc they say that debugging tools are included in the Windows SDK.
Debugging Tools for Windows is included in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). To download the installer or an ISO image, see Windows 10 SDK on Windows Dev Center.
With a link to another page saying to install the Windows SDK 11, and that it can be installed through the Visual Studio 2019 Installer.
https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/
You can get the Windows SDK in two ways: install it from this page by selecting the download link or by selecting “Windows 11 SDK (10.0.22000)” in the optional components of the Visual Studio 2019 Installer.
Which I did (and also latest Windows SDK 10), but I cannot find the SDK 11 on my computer. They are supposed to be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\ but there I only see the 10 and not 11.
Even in the Windows SDK 10 there is no debugging tools as mentioned in the doc.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64

I want to compile old C++ source code that I got from github and this is old apps which is need windows xp SDK and v141_xp build tools, I've tried to download manually from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8442 but this is not detected on my IDE. As you know old windows SDK as unavailable on visual studio package installer
I recently installed windows 10 software development kit for Fall Creators update (10.0.16299.15). I used the .exe installer from this link (Windows 10 SDK). But in Visual Studio 2015, while creating new blank Universal Windows App in C# or C++, Target Version doesn't show this SDK as an option.!
Note: I use Windows 10 Home - Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.19)
Visual Studio 2017 is required for developing UWP applications for Windows builds 15063 or higher, see this.
I have a directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits". An exe in the subfolder of this folder is being called when I build a winPhone App. I did not install this specifically. How was this installed on my system? I am guessing maybe it came with windows install or some visual studio install. How do I update this?
I have 8.0, 8.1 and 10 as subfolders too. I think I can manually update each version from here. https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive
Just trying to figure out how these are installed and how are they supposed to be upgraded.
Windows Kits are available in stand-alone downloads, but primarily they are deployed and upgraded by Visual Studio.
Visual Studio 2013 includes Windows 8.1 SDK (for Windows Store apps and Windows desktop apps on Windows Vista SP2 or later) and the Windows 7.1A SDK (for Windows desktop apps on Windows Server 2003 SP1 or Windows XP SP3). VS 2013 Update 5 included the Windows 8.1 SDK (Spring 2015 Refresh).
Visual Studio 2015 includes the Windows 8.1 SDK (Spring 2015 Refresh) and Windows 7.1A SDK by default, and installing the Windows Tools option for UWP development adds a Windows 10 SDK. There are currently three versions available: 10240 (RTM), 10586 (Version 1511), and the latest is 14393 (Version 1610). A little bit of the Windows 10 SDK is always installed to support the Universal CRT used by Visual Studio 2015.
Windows 10 SDK versions are side-by-side installed.
See A Brief History of Windows SDKs.
For more on using the Windows 7.1A SDK for targeting Windows XP SP3, see Visual Studio 2012 Update 1
UPDATE: VS 2017 initially shipped with Windows 10 SDK (14393). Later updates included 15063, 16299, 17134, and 17763. VS 2019 shipped with Windows 10 SDK (17763) but was updated to include 18362 and 19041.
VS 2015 is only officially supported up to Windows 10 SDK (14393). VS 2017 can use Windows 10 SDK (18362) or Windows 10 SDK (19041), but you have to install it separately from VS 2017.
Is it possibility to create windows universal app for windows 10 in Visual Studio 2013? Should I install some kind of SDK, and after that everything will be ok or I have to use VS2015?
VS2013 won't work, you have to use VS2015.
You can run VS2015 on Windows 10, Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to create Windows 10 apps.
Make sure to install the components for Windows Universal App Development during the installation of VS 2015. VS 2015 can be installed side by side with VS 2013.
More info can be found on MSDN
No need to have 2015. Not everyone is having this.
If you are using a different development environment than Visual Studio 2015, you can download a standalone Windows SDK for Windows 10 installer. Note that you don’t need to install this SDK if you’re using Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 – it's already included.

I have been developing WP (Windows Phone) 8.0 apps using Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone. To start developing for WP 8.1, I downloaded VS 2013 including update 2 RC from Windows Phone Developer site which is supposed to use to develop WP 8.1 apps.
I've tried twice, but there is no option to create WP 8.1 app even after a successful installation. What I get is only this:
i.e. no option to create Windows Phone 8.1 apps. If it matters, I'm interested in WP 8.1 Visual C# template specifically.
As I've mentioned, since I develop Windows Phone 8.0 apps, therefore Visual Studio Express (2012) for Windows Phone is already installed.
I've already gone through:
WP8 Development on Visual Studio Express 2013
Why is there no Windows Phone version of Visual Studio Express 2013?
Visual Studio 2013 and Windows Phone
How to get started with windows phone SDK 8.1?
WP8 Development on Visual Studio Express 2013
but none address the solution.
Being a windows app developer even I was baffled with the shift in Windows Phone location. You can find it in
Visual C# --> Store Apps --> Windows Phone apps.
Do sign in, in Visual Studio through Microsoft Account then go to ur notification and update ur VS and you will get this screen. Its usually caused due to some updates working only when VS can access developer's account and also I am using VS 2013 pro.
Have you installed Windows phone emulator SDK with the updated emulators?
I finally got the solution.
I downloaded both Visual Studio 2013, and update 2 RC using the /layout switch at command prompt. From MSDN:
After you download the update executable from the MSDN website to a
location on your file system, run the following command at a command
prompt: /layout.
This command downloads all the
packages for the installation. By using the /layout switch, you can
download all the installation packages, not just the ones that apply
to the download machine. This approach gives you all the files that
you need to run this update anywhere and may be useful if you want to
install components that weren't installed originally.
To do this, download the Visual Studio 2013, and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 RC files (about 2-3 MBs each). Then, create a shortcut of these files on desktop, and then open properties of shortcut. In target field after ", add a space followed with /layout as shown below:
This will download all installation files to your disk and when you install the VS (the exe at specified download folder), it won't ask it to fetch from internet, rather will do it from offline files and phone SDK 8.1 will be installed too.
Please be warned that, this will take a lot of time. To save time, I suggest following what is in Update section.
Update
While searching on internet, I found these two links on Microsoft website:
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows
Desktop
Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows with Update
2
In download section, these two sites show that, the offline download option is now available (as evident from the ISOs shown). Though, I don't know if that would help as I haven't tested this option. Just that this option will be much more quicker than using /layout switch.
