    How do I enable Windows 10 logging?


    Hi, is there any way to enable Windows 10 logging? Is there any way to set logging levels?

    I have a file called crash-dump-settings.txt and it looks like this:


    Code:
    ########################## Crash Dump Settings #########################
    
    AutoReboot       : 1
    DumpFile         : C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP
    DumpLogLevel     : 0
    EnableLogFile    : 1
    LogEvent         : 1
    MinidumpDir      : C:\WINDOWS\Minidump
    Overwrite        : 1
    DumpFilters      : {dumpfve.sys}
    MinidumpsCount   : 50
    CrashDumpEnabled : 2
    PSPath           : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
    PSParentPath     : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
    PSChildName      : CrashControl
    PSDrive          : HKLM
    PSProvider       : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry
    
    
    ######################## Crash Dump Type Matrix ########################
    
    		CrashDumpEnabled			FilterPages
    Disabled	0					<does not exist>
    Complete	1					<does not exist>
    Active		1					1
    Kernel		2					<does not exist>
    Small		3					<does not exist>
    Automatic	7					<does not exist>
    Are these settings OK?

    Is there any way to force Windows 10 to gather more detailed logs?

    You get fair bit of info from the Event logs, here is an easier way to examine them.
    FullEventLogView
    Download FullEventLogView 1.60
    FullEventLogView - Event Log Viewer for Windows 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista

    Small dump & Minidump files are dealt with here.
    Configure Windows 10 to Create Minidump on BSOD

    Hi micmic,

    Your settings look fine. If you never touched the settings, they'll be default which is fine.

    The only place to get detailed information about BSOD crashes is with a dump file, minidump/kernel dump, which contains very technical data. Could you upload the zip file created by the V2 log collector.
