Backups keep failing on DumpStack.log.tmp
Hey all,
When trying to run a backup from a Dell Laptop to an external USB hard drive, the backup constantly gets stuck with the below error. This is Windows 10 Pro 2004.:
\DumpStack.log.tmp
Error: Failed to copy from Source : File is locked (C:\DumpStack.log.tmp): The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
I have read on another forum that this file can be switched off in the registry. Here is the excerpt from the Microsoft Forum that I found using Google:
dump stack logging can be disabled. To do so, enforce the following setting in Windows Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl]
"EnableLogFile"=dword:00000000
In other words:
- Open the Registry Editor.
- Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "SYSTEM", "CurrentControlSet", "Control", and finally "CrashControl"
- Once you've opened the "CrashControl" key, look at the values pane to the right and look for "EnableLogFile". If it doesn't exist, create it. Its type must be "DWORD".
- Set its value to 0.
- Exit the Registry Editor.
Once you enforced the aforementioned setting, restart your computer. Only after a restart you'll be able to delete both files.
Alternatively, any other less intrusive ideas to work around this issue? This is a work colleagues laptop not mine.
Thanks in advance as always!
