If you have been using Windows 10 for a while, you might know that the operating system has many bugs and errors. For example, it’s pretty common for Windows users to face BSOD errors, Black screen errors, driver errors, and more.
Whenever Windows 10 detects a critical error, it creates a dump file and takes specific action to troubleshoot the error. Although Windows 10 fails to fix the problems in most cases, the dump files that it creates can be used for troubleshooting purposes.
What are Crash Dump Files?
Crash dump files are a file type that’s automatically created when the system experiences BSoD, commonly known as ‘Stop error’, ‘system error’, or ‘bug check’.
Those crash dump files can help developers fix BSOD or unknown system errors. If you are experiencing problems with BSOD, you can send the crash dump file to the developers to fix the error.
Although crash dump files were of great use, they can waste lots of hard drive space. So, if you never use Crash Dump files, then it’s best to disable the creation of crash dump files in Windows 10.
