Windows 10 1607 had rarely deleted mini dump files.

Windows 10 1809 deleted mini dump files in < 24 hours after a BSOD.

This was the memory dump created after a BSOD yesterday:


Crash dump found at C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP
Creation date: 04/05/2019 13:14:07
Size on disk: 2486 MB

This was the mini dump created after a BSOD yesterday:

-a---- 4/5/2019 1:14 PM 1972172 040519-10812-01.dmp



These were the results for searching for the same files April 6, 2018 ( < 24hrs)

C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP was not found

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump contains no dump files.

No third party cleaning software was installed.


How come Windows 10 1809 default is to clean mini dump files in < 24 hours?

How do you modify the time period?

For example two weeks before automatic cleaning?

Or how to turn off automatic cleaning of mini dump files?
