Can you run Developer: Open User Data Folder and attach the *.dmp files from the Crashpad folder.

Can you run Developer: Open User Data Folder and attach the *.dmp files from the Crashpad folder.

I can't find this specified *.dmp file, this Crashpad folder has two empty folders names attachments and reports and two files names metadata and settings.data. Do I need to turn on certain options?

When you run Preferences: Configure Runtime Arguments is "enable-crash-reporter": true ? If you are unable to find existing reports, can you attempt to generate one using the steps at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues#creating-a-crash-report

I do this but the file not generate. Whether the file *.dmp is generated only when the whole program crashes? In this issue only the terminal will crash.

Whether the file *.dmp is generated only when the whole program crashes? In this issue only the terminal will crash.

It will be captured for any process in the application tree, seems like the crash is in system conhost process which the built in crash reporter cannot monitor.

Can you follow the steps from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wer/collecting-user-mode-dumps to capture dump files, for the DumpType set it to Full dump (2). Send the files to Deepak.Mohan@microsoft.com instead of attaching to this issue.
