WinDbg (Windows Debugging) is a tool that has been designed for debugging kernel-mode and user-mode code, examining processor registries, and analyze crash dumps. The '.dmp' file includes the stop error message, list of the drivers loaded at the time of the problem, and kernel, processor, and processes details, as well as other pieces of information depending on the type of dump file you are using.Īlthough Windows 10 creates dump files automatically, the only problem is that you won't find any built-in tools to open them, and this is when the Microsoft WinDbg tool comes in handy. On Windows 10, every time there is a crash, the system creates a 'dump' file containing the memory information at the time of the error that can help determine the reason of the problem.
