I followed these instructions to set up mini-dump collection on the Windows 10 machine. I set up the following keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps]
"DumpFolder"="C:\CrashDumps"
"DumpCount"=dword:00000100
"DumpType"=dword:00000002
The "C:\CrashDumps"
folder's ACL
is set up for the full access
for Everyone
.
Now when I'm testing it with a deliberately crashing app running the following C++ code:
BYTE* p = (BYTE*)rand();
*p = 1;
The app crashes but then I get two .dmp
files in the folder:
This seems to be happening only with Visual Studio installed.
Why is it doing it? And is there a setting to make it create only one mini-dump file?
