If you want a crash dump file to be written, you must enable such dump files. Choose the path and file name, and select the size of the dump file. For more information, see Enabling a kernel-mode dump file.
With PS/2 keyboards, you must enable the keyboard-initiated crash in the registry. In the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters, create a value named CrashOnCtrlScroll, and set it equal to a REG_DWORD value of 0x01.
With USB keyboards, you must enable the keyboard-initiated crash in the registry. In the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdhid\Parameters, create a value named CrashOnCtrlScroll, and set it equal to a REG_DWORD value of 0x01.
With Hyper-V keyboards, you must enable the keyboard-initiated crash in the registry. In the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\hyperkbd\Parameters, create a value named CrashOnCtrlScroll, and set it equal to a REG_DWORD value of 0x01.
Example: In this scenario, a laptop uses a PS2 keyboard driver, and an external HID keyboard is attached. Setting both values provides the ability to trigger a manual system crash from either keyboard. A manual system crash can be forced by holding the rightmost control key and pressing the spacebar twice when the following registry key is set.
It's possible but rare for a system to freeze in such a way that the keyboard shortcut sequence doesn't work. Using the keyboard shortcut sequence to initiate a crash will work even in many instances where CTRL+ALT+DELETE doesn't work.
Forcing a system crash from the keyboard doesn't work if the computer stops responding at a high interrupt request level (IRQL). This limitation exists because the Kbdhid.sys driver, which allows the memory dump process to run, operates at a lower IRQL than the i8042prt.sys driver.
To be sure, Windows has grown in features and size since its introduction in 1985 and has become more stable along the way. Nevertheless, and in spite of the protection mechanisms built in to the OS, crashes still happen.
A complete (or full) memory dump is the largest dump file because it includes all of the physical memory that is used by the Windows OS. You can assume that the file will be about equal to the installed RAM. With many systems having multiple GBs, this can quickly become a storage issue, especially if you are having more than the occasional crash. Generally speaking, stick to the automatic dump file.
In this case, for this Windows 10 PC, the symbol file folder ended up being 22MB in size. After running numerous crash tests, the folder was about 35MB. On another system upon which I ran numerous tests from several different PCs, the folder was still under 100MB. Just remember that if you open files from additional machines (with variants of the operating system) your folder can continue to grow in size.
Often, when diagnosing the cause of a Windows crash, more information is needed. For instance, you might recognize the driver but you might not be certain that it is the latest release; you might not recognize the driver or know who made it; or in other cases, the driver might actually be from Microsoft and be related to the OS kernel, which makes it a very unlikely suspect. To learn more, all you will typically need are two commands:
!analyze -v The output from selecting !analyze -v provides more detail about the system crash event. In this case, the analysis accurately describes the actions of the test driver (myfault.sys) which was instructed by the test program to access an address at an interrupt level that was too high.
Walking the stack It is always important to look at the stack output displayed by the debugger because it shows who was active and what he was doing leading up to the crash. When looking at the stack, always look at the far right end of the stack for any third-party drivers and always remember that the stack is displayed in reverse chronological order. Therefore, the sequence of events goes from the bottom to the top; as each new task is performed by the system it shows up at the top, pushing the previous actions down. In this stack you can see that NotMyFault/myfault was active. Following the last activity by the driver, Windows 10 declared a PageFault then a BugCheck which stopped the system (Blue Screened).
Probably not. For many years, many people have been quick to blame the Windows OS for system crashes when, in fact, it rarely is. Often, when Windows code is named as the culprit, it is typically that some other driver made a request for a Windows component to perform an operation and passed a bad instruction, such as telling it to write to non-existent memory. In cases like this, the OS is often seen as the guy holding the smoking gun, but he did what he was told to do, making identification of the initiator of the request often a difficult task.
This morning I awoke to several users saying that ArcGIS Pro will not open. It crashes immediately at the "Initializing..." point of the splash screen. Windows update ran on all 3 machines last night, see those updates below.
I just wanted to thank you for putting this up. I analyzed the crashdump. For me it was Komplete Kontrol. I reinstalled it and it seems to be working now. Thanks again so much. This was driving me insane.
I recently completed a Seminar about the Cortex-M7 and when I got home, I updated my ST-Link Utility from 3.8.x to 4.0.0.0. The earlier version worked, the new version crashes every time I try Target -> Connect.
Your application server terminated without warning or a userdump is generated but you are not sure what data to collect. The following MustGather will assist you in collecting the critical data to troubleshoot issues with an IBM WebSphere Application Server crash on the Windows platform.
Once you have followed the steps mentioned in the Enable crash dumps section, reproduce the crash of the software and collect the related .dmp file with the software name %localAppdata%\Packages\Adobe.CC.XD_adky2gkssdxte\AC\Dumps.
After any of these crashes, every time LibreOffice re-opens it starts the recovery process, which (depending upon the circumstances) leads to either an endless loop of manual crash and recovery, or an endless loop of LibreOffice attempting to open, but resulting in a sequence of fast appear/disappear splash screens, which then requires killing the application in task manager - furthermore there will usually be several cases of LibreOffice open in the task manager when this happens. Killing individual instances, one at a time, will usually result in a successful open once only one instance remains in task manager.
A fix for the crash at launch on macOS was pushed out today. Next time you start Zwift, you should receive a game update that fixes the crash at launch. Please reboot your Mac and restart Zwift.
SECOND UPDATE: JUNE 2
We are pausing the phased rollout of 1.41 to more macOS users while we work on resolving the two issues (crash at launch and a persistent Accept Network message popup)
Hello all, I did a clean install of Windows 10 Pro (64 bit) and I have a Pixma MX-870 which I use wirelessly. It and its software were working perfectly in Windows 8.1 Anyway, I downloaded the latest driver install and when I run it it begins and the installer detects the device and its IP address, etc., and when I it begins to install the drivers, it crashes when it gets to "Registering Fax Driver" each time. I get a "Canon IJ Driver installer has stopped working" message.
This worked as others have said, however it still crashed when trying to start wsl right after running the command. Started working in like a minute or so after running the wsl update, not sure if there was some background process running or something...
Lastly, a screenshot of the error message you have received after entering your serial number. To find out how to take a screenshot using Snipping Tool, check out this link: -us/windows/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots-00246869-1843-655f-f220-97299b865f6b
Unfortunately it behaves in the exact same way as the old one. Even more unfortunate: the Windows Event Viewer on my PC crashes when try to look at any kind of events. I had hoped I could get a bit more information on when Nitro Pro crashes.
Unfortunately, we do not have a way to troubleshoot corrupted user profiles so if you could recreate it by referring to this article, that would be great:

This article describes how to use Windows Error Reporting (WER) to capture application crash dumps (User Dumps) on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 onwards.
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.
Note: Dr. Watson error is obsolete and has been superseded by Windows Error Reporting (WER) in Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
Note: The preceding settings apply globally to all user-mode applications. Application crash dumps are saved to the DumpFolder location. Service crash dumps are written to service specific profile folders depending on the service account used. For example, the profile folder for Network and Local Services is %WINDIR%\ServiceProfiles. For System services, the folder is %WINDIR%\System32\Config\SystemProfile.
