Windows 11 not generating minidump files after BSOD/PC Freeze despite settings to generate said minidump files are enabled

[ex0LL]

I also wanted to add, if it can be of any help to the cause, that thanks to the amazing support of @phillpower2 I was notified of how incorrect my overall PC setting up was in terms of OS installation and drive, aswell as driver installation order (MOBO>CPU>GPU>Windows Update).

So, since I recently fresh installed my whole PC after the experience with another issue and problem that you can check out in this post , I’d say that there’s no need to generally format my PC or fresh-reinstall OS as a possible solution to the problem.

Download DDU and use it to remove all of the Nvidia Driver remnants including Experience.

Re-Install using this. Only choose the driver, nothing else, Experience, etc.

Hey, thanks for reaching out again.

This is what I’ve done:
[ol]
[li]Download and install DDU;[/li][li]Download the latest NVidia Driver from the official website;[/li][li]Disable my internet connection;[/li][li]Restart PC into Safe Mode;[/li][li]Run DDU and remove NVidia drivers using the “Clean and Restart” option;[/li][li]Install the NVidia GeForce Experience + Drivers again;[/li][li]Restart my PC;[/li][li]Re-enable my internet connection.[/li][/ol]
Now, it’s worth nothing that, as you can see from my Speccy snapshot, I use two very different monitors as primary and secondary ones, the one being and ultrawide with 144Hz and the second one being a standard with 60Hz.

Since I’ve been having problems while gaming/having a full-screen/borderless full-screen application on my primary monitor and running YouTube/other media programs on my secondary monitor in terms of FPS/stuttering, I tried to follow a guide suggesting to scale both display performance on GPU rather than the display itself.

Things improved althought they did not get a true fix, but sometimes I still can notice some funny stuff between the monitors.

Could this be a problem?
Should I not change this kind of setting?

You can re-install it later if you want. If you do, note if you have issues.

@ex0LL - any progress?

@ex0LL - any progress?

I redid the whole process and for now the issue is not showing.
I’d wait some time to see if anything changes.
I’ll keep you posted!

Let’s leave this thread open for a few days and see how you go. (y)

I also want to mention that I did not adapt both monitors to scale off GPU.
I left the default by NVidia, which is one of them two scaling off the display itself.

Regardless, I want to thank you @Bruce and all the other guys here at PC Help Forum for the amazing work and support you give.

I’d close the post in any case since this deviated from the original issue.
If anything comes back again, I’ll make sure to open another post.

Thank you! :giggle:

Is the original issue resolved?

Is the original issue resolved?

Original issue should be resolved as per post #6 ; perhaps the corrupted minidump was due to the paging file being bigger than necessary plus I manually forced reset on the PC before the generation was completed.

Thank you closing the thread per request and marking.
