This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable overwrite any existing dump file in Windows 11.
A BSOD (blue screen of death) error (also called a stop error) can occur if a problem causes your PC to shut down or restart unexpectedly (aka: crash). When you experience this type of error, you won’t be able to see things like the Start menu or the taskbar on the screen when your PC is turned on. Instead you might see a blue screen with a message that your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.
When you have a BSOD, the system saves mini dump files in C:\Windows\minidump and full system dump files in C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP by default.
Windows will overwrite any existing dump file by default when a new dump file gets created...
