Enabling Windows Crash Dumps

  • Log files can be a valuable tool to understand and analyze unexpected program behavior, refer to section Multichannel Log Files for more information.

  • In addition, it is recommended to enable Microsoft Windows to generate user-mode crash dumps. This can make debugging easier, particular if there are hardware or general windows issues affecting program behavior.

    • Enabling User-mode Dumps requires Windows 7 or higher.

    • To enable, configure the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumpsregistry setting. For more detailed information, see the Microsoft web information at Collecting User-Mode Dumps
