For the lost souls struggling in 2022.  
The PDBCOPY is no longer a dependency for the SDK and is no longer installed with it if not specifically selected (which you can’t do when you install it with Visual Studio Installer).  
Goto Apps & Features → Search the Windows Software Development Kit → Modify → Add Debugging Tools for Windows.  
See here: [Download Debugging Tools for Windows - WinDbg - Windows drivers | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/debugger-download-tools)
