[German<\/a>]On Windows 10 systems with the version 2004 or 20H2 there is a file DumpStack.log.tmp, which in the worst case slows down the computer. A blog reader pointed this out to me. Here is some information on the topic.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A reader hint<\/h2>\n

\"\"Blog reader Alfred Neumann sent me the hint by e-mail after he ran into the problem on a newly updated computer. In his mail he writes.<\/p>\n

\n

Today I updated a computer to Win 20h2 and I noticed a file in c:\\: \"DumpStack.log.tmp\". <\/p>\n

Had already seen them before but somehow suppressed to look for them again.  Today I looked for it. If you look in the REG under <\/p>\n

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\CrashControl <\/p>\n

sets the value EnableLogFile <\/em>to 0 you can <\/p>\n

a) delete the file C:\\DumpStack.log.tmp and <\/p>\n

b) the computer runs faster. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Alfred Neumann pointed out that he had mentioned in his comments that TOR starts so slowly. The problem is solved after deleting the file C:\\DumpStack.log.tmp<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What is behind DumpStack.log.tmp?<\/h2>\n

On the Internet, users often ask what is behind the file DumpStack.log.tmp. The whole thing was already introduced in Windows 8 by Microsoft. The file is used when Windows has to write a dump. It is a hidden system file in the root directory C:\\ of the Windows drive (see also the explanation in this MS Answers forum thread<\/a>). Some hints can be found in the posts here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The file cannot be deleted by default because it is under the control of the operating system. Logging to the file can be disabled by a registry operation. To do so, use the key mentioned above:<\/p>\n

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\CrashControl <\/p>\n

in a registry editor launched with administrative rights. There two 32-bit DWORD values are entered (see also here) to activate logging:<\/p>\n

EnableLogFile = 00000001
LogLevel = fffffffd<\/p>\n

If the 32-bit DWORD value EnableLogFile is set to 0 and Windows 10 is rebooted, no logging is performed. At the same time you can now delete the file DumpStack.log.tmp<\/em>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
