Getting the “Dump File Creation Failed” Error in Windows
Every time my system crashes (BSOD), I get the message “Dump file creation failed due to error during dump creation.” It used to generate minidumps normally, but now nothing gets saved in the C:\Windows\Minidump folder.
Here’s what I’ve already tried:
Verified system is set to create kernel or small memory dumps
Made sure there’s enough space on the C: drive
Checked permissions on the Minidump folder
Ran SFC and DISM (no corruption found)
Still no luck. Any idea how to get Windows to start saving dump files again after crashes?

If Windows isn’t saving dump files after a BSOD, do this:
Make sure the folder C:\Windows\Minidump exists. If not, create it.
Go to System Properties > Startup and Recovery. Set “Write debugging information” to Small memory dump (256 KB) and make sure the path is C:\Windows\Minidump.
Check that the page file is enabled on the C: drive. Windows needs it to write dump files.
Open Command Prompt as admin and run:
wevtutil sl System /e:true
This makes sure system logging is enabled.
If you use any system cleaner apps, turn them off. They might be deleting the dump files.
Restart and check again after a crash.
