In case of a system failure, the system maintains a memory backup in Memory Dump, often known as a crash dump. When the system doesn’t have enough memory to function, it also makes a memory dump. This backup enables users to investigate the reason why the system crashed and aids in learning about any faults in the operating system or the apps. It is also referred to as the “blue screen of death” in Windows systems. Prior to the system failure, the core dump provides information on the system state, memory locations, application or programme status, programme counters, etc. After the memory dump, the system needs to restart in order to be usable. A system log file is also kept in this memory for future use. We have mentioned steps below to open dump file with WinDbg on Windows

Final Words
We hope like our article on how to Open and Analyze Dump Files on Windows. Windows automatically creates a dump file (minidump) when your computer crashes with a blue screen error. This file contains useful troubleshooting information, including the stop codes that caused the error. You can identify which drivers or programmes caused the problem by opening and examining a dump file.
