Capturing heap dumps for investigating crashes

The following commands demonstrate a registry configuration that collects local heap dumps when a process crashes. Software developers can add these keys for processes they work on to help provide actionable data in the event of a crash during use.

Each command in the samples places the captured heap dumps in a folder C:\CrashDumps. The command can be modified before execution to use a different location.
