Where Does WhoCrashed Read Crash Dumps From?
WhoCrashed analyzes minidumps in C:\Windows\Minidump, keeping settings in the registry and reports exportable.
Last updated
WhoCrashed translates crash dumps into plain language conclusions about which driver likely failed. It reads the standard Minidump folder plus the kernel dump, needing no data of its own.
Settings persist in the registry under the vendor key. The value is in the reports it generates: save one per incident and patterns across weeks become obvious in a way single dumps never show.
Where WhoCrashed stores this, by platform
C:\Windows\Minidump
Crash source folder with MEMORY.DMP beside it for kernel dumps. Settings live in HKCU\Software\Resplendence Software. Export reports to text for records.
Frequently asked questions
whocrashed says no valid crash dumps found
Confirm dumps are enabled and the Minidump folder is populated. Cleaners that wipe memory dumps starve the tool, so exclude the folder from automated cleaning.
how do i share a whocrashed analysis
Use the report export to save the conclusion as text. It names the suspect driver and the crash codes without exposing personal files.
