How to open dump in Windows

Run regedd.exe and find “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps”. If the key does not exist, do the following:
1) create a new LocalDumps key
2) create a subkey with the same name as your Windows store application process, such as myapp.exe
3) in the subkey create a folder called DumpFolder, of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, set it to the directory where you want to generate dump (make sure it exists), say C:\Dumps
4) in the same subkey create a subkey called DumpCount, Value of type REG_DWORD, set its value to 5 (maximum number of dumps generated)
5) in the same subkey create a value called DumpType, of type REG_DWORD, set its value to 2 (full dump)
