Windows minidump not saving into designated folder

Hi!

When browsing "Event Viewer" and going through BSOD events, the files for the minidumps do not appear in the designated folder despite being set in "Advanced System Settings" .

I have also tried setting it to a direct path however it does not apply and still gives me the same directory as the one in the screenshot.

Toggling the type of memory dump does not help either.

Thanks ahead! It will allow me to get support in the BSOD Section!

For dumps to be produced, The following should be correct




Page file must be on the same drive as your operating system


Page file base allocation size must be greater than installed physical RAM


Windows Error Reporting (WER) system service should be set to MANUAL


Set page file to system managed on the OS drive


Set system crash/recovery options to "kernel memory dump"


User account control must be running.


Sometimes SSD drives with older firmware do not create DMPS (update firmware)


Cleaner applications like Ccleaner delete DMP files so dont run them until you are fixed.




Bad Physical RAM may prevent the data from being saved and written to a file on reboot. If you suspect bad RAM run Memtest from this wiki




Full memory dumps can also be deleted (in win 7) if your HD space is under 25 gigs, but if you configured your system as the above suggests, you should not be generating full dumps.
