How to create dump on Windows Explorer crash
If you are able to replicate crash at will, you can use ProcDump tool to create crash dump:
- Get Sysinternals ProcDump tool.
- Run
procdump.exe -ma -e explorer.exefrom command line. - Replicate the crash. Dump file (
explorer.exe_*.dmp) should be created.
In case of random crashes that are hard to replicate, you can instruct Windows to create dump into specified location using Collecting User-Mode Dumps guide:
- Open administrator command prompt
- Run
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\explorer.exe" /v DumpType /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f - Dumps should be created in
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumpsby default
Once you have crash dump, compress it, upload to some cloud storage (OneDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox, ...) and post a link to it.
