Collecting User-Mode Dumps Starting with Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1), Windows Error Reporting (WER) can be configured so that full user-mode dumps are collected and stored locally after a user-mode application crashes. Applications that do their own custom crash reporting, including .NET applications, are not supported by this feature. This feature is not enabled by default. Enabling the feature requires administrator privileges. To enable and configure the feature, use the following registry values under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps key. ValueDescriptionTypeDefault value DumpFolderThe path where the dump files are to be stored. If you do not use the default path, then make sure that the folder contains ACLs that allow the crashing process to write data to the folde
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Christopher T. HaunNovember 12, 201313 0 0 0   Summary  When a user-mode process (such as w3wp.exe, owstimer.exe, iexplore.exe, or windows error reporting windows 10 any .exe) is crashing (such that the process disappears unexpectedly from task

manager and reappears soon after with a different PID number), arguably the best way to begin to determine windows error reporting disable the root cause of the crash is to catch a crash dump as that process is crashing. This blog offers two ways to trigger the crash dump and suggests https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb787181(v=vs.85).aspx a way to begin interpreting the dump.  The Choice between DebugDiag and WER   I highly recommend the use of DebugDiag as the tool to use to automatically trigger a crash dump as the process crashes and as the tool to begin analyzing the crash dump. The tool is simply the most flexible and customizable way to get https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/chaun/2013/11/12/steps-to-catch-a-simple-crash-dump-of-a-crashing-process/ simple crash dumps and advanced crash dumps. But since I'm taking here about simple crash dumps, and since it's not uncommon for the change management process to move too slowly, and since some IT groups have very restrictive tool installation approval process for their servers, sometimes DebugDiag cannot be installed on a server where a process is crashing, I also am going to offer steps here to use Windows Error Reporting (WER) to automatically trigger the crash dump. Often WER is adequate to get the crash dump. So I'll start with WER. But if you have permission to install DebugDiag on your server, feel free to skip the WER steps.  How to Set up WER for a Crash Dump  WER is already there! WER is already part of your operating system (in Win2008 and higher) and needs only to be configured.  You'll need to add a registry key. As an example, to catch a total of two crash dumps of a crashing w3wp.exe process, you could use copy the following text into notepad, save
Reporting Service In Windows 8 RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and improve system performance Whenever a system crashes, using dump files (.dmp), we can easily analyze what has caused the issue. This is most useful to find is the third-party module is http://www.thewindowsclub.com/activate-windows-error-reporting-windows-8 causing the issue or not. Thus using dump analysis, errors and crashes can be resolved out. Windows Error Reporting (WER), introduced since Windows Vista, works in the way to collect user-mode dumps. But this service is not enabled by default in Windows 8, and a registry trick can be operated to bring it into action. Enable Windows Error Reporting Service In this article, I'll show you how to enable this Windows Error Reporting service so that you can easily collect windows error dump files in a folder inside Explorer. Please note that applications that do their own custom crash reporting, including .NET applications, are not supported by this feature. Collecting User Mode Dumps Using Registry Editor As the Windows Error Reporting feature is not enabled by default, you can employ following registry trick to make it live: 1. Press Windows Key + R combination, type put Regedt32.exe in Run dialog box and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor. 2. Navigate here: windows error reporting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps 3. In the right pane of this location, you can create different value data to configure WER. Here are the various data you can create here: a. DumpFolder - (Creation : using Right click -> New -> Expandable String Value) This string value handles the location to collect crash data in a folder. You can double click the above created string to modify its Value data. The default Value data should be %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps. To find dump files stored after a crash, press Windows Key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps and get the dump files. Advertisement ^ b. DumpCount - {Creation : using Right click -> New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value} Above created DWORD takes care of how many dump files should be stored at the location created previously in step a. By default, this number is 10. As the number of files exceeds 10, the oldest files will be erased and new files will receive their place. c. DumpType - {Creation : using Right click -> New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value} This DWORD can be configured to get the dump file as Custom dump; Mini dump; Full dump according to your requirement. Use Value Data 0, 1, 2 respectively. Thus in this way you can store the dump files for system crashes. If you're looking for storing dump files for particular application, then you need to create the subkey to LocalDumps key: HKEY_LOCAL
