Debugging in Windows is similar to configuration in Mac/Linux. The difference is that you need to select Debug @ Windows and modify the path of program to a mirror file corresponding to the programed firmware, as shown in the following picture：
"program": "D:\\work\\AliOS-Things\\out\\starterkitgui@starterkit\\binary\\starterkitgui@starterkit.elf"
Click the green
According to the setting in launch.json
