Windows Error Reporting (WHO), introduced since Windows Vista, works in the same way as user mode dumps. But this service is not enabled by default in Windows 10/8, and a registry round can be executed to put it into action.

In this article, I will show you how to enable this Windows Error Reporting service using the Windows registry so that you can easily collect dump files into a folder in the Explorer (16). Please note that applications that create their own custom crash reports, including.NET applications, are not supported by this feature.

1 Press Windows + R, type Regedt32. exe in the dialog box Run and press Enter to open Registry Editor.

The default value should be %LOCALAPPDATA%CrashDumps. To find the dump files saved after a crash, press Windows Key + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%CrashDumps and recover the dump files.

b. DumpCount – {Create : with Right Click -> New -> DWORD (32 Bit) Value}.
