What this article shares with you is about how to configure Windows 10 to create a dump file on the blue screen. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you to learn. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Whenever the Windows computer encounters an error, it will display a BSOD or blue screen crash. This screen usually appears for a fraction of a second, create some logs or dump files, as many others refer to, and then suddenly restart the computer. Now, this process happens so fast that many times the user does not have a chance to get the correct error code, and then the user may not have a chance to check what went wrong. These fault dump files are stored inside the computer and can only be accessed by administrators.

There are four main types of crash dump files. On Win10, they are:

-- complete the memory dump

-- kernel memory dump

-- small memory dump (256KB) or

-- active memory dump.

Configure Windows to create a dump file on the blue screen

First of all, we recommend that you make system restore points. Because we will use system files and modify some key Windows settings. For now, we will continue our efforts to get Win10 to create a dump file after a Stop error.

1: create a dump file by modifying the settings in Startup and restore

Now, first, open the control panel. To do this, simply search the dashboard in the Cortana search box and click the appropriate results.

Make sure you view the content by category. Click the title link labeled "system and Security"-or, simply right-click the "this PC" icon and click Properties.

Now, in the left panel, select Advanced system Settings. A new small window will open.

Where, under the area called start and restore, select the Settings button.

Under the area called system failure, you can select any option to write debugging information from the drop-down list:

-- none (dump file created by Windows)

-- small memory dump (Windows will create a Minidump file on BSOD)

-- Kernel memory dump (Windows will create a kernel memory dump file on BSOD)

-- complete memory dump (Windows will create a complete memory dump file on BSOD)

-- automatic memory dump (Windows will create an automatic memory dump file on BSOD

-- Active Memory Dump (Windows will create an Active Memory Dump file on BSOD)

It is worth noting that a full dump requires a page file that allows it to be the size of the physical memory installed on the computer, with only dedicated 1MB space for the page title.

Now after selecting the most appropriate option for you, select OK / apply and exit.

Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

2: create a dump file WMIC command line

First press the WINKEY + X button or right-click the start button, then click the command prompt (administrator) or search for cmd in the Cortana search box, right-click the command prompt icon, and then click run as administrator.

Now type any of the following commands based on your * * entry to have windows 10 create a dump file.

No dump file: wmic RECOVEROS set DebugInfoType = 0 Small Memory Dump: wmic RECOVEROS set DebugInfoType = 3 Kernel Memory Dump: wmic RECOVEROS set DebugInfoType = 2 Complete Memory Dump: wmic RECOVEROS set DebugInfoType = 1 Automatic Memory Dump: wmic RECOVEROS set DebugInfoType = 7 Active Memory Dump: wmic RECOVEROS set DebugInfoType = 1

For your information, a full dump requires a page file that allows it to be the size of the physical memory installed on the computer, with only dedicated 1MB space for the page title.

Now, type exit to exit the command prompt.

Restart the computer for the changes to take effect.

If you want to check the current memory dump settings on your computer, simply enter the following command to check

Wmic RECOVEROS get DebugInfoType

Now check to see if the settings you modified are valid.
