C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\OLEAUT32.dll constaly creating .dmp files

Hello Acrobles,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I can imagine the inconvenience you are experiencing and will certainly help you in the right direction to fix the issue.

Applications produce user-mode dump files, which contain a useful subset of the information contained in a crash dump file. This type of dump requires a page file at least the size of physical memory plus 1MB (for the header).  Because of the page file requirement, this is an uncommon setting especially for systems with large amounts of RAM. The space taken does not occupy much space on the root drive.

However, if you wish to clear the unwanted files on the system, I would suggest you to run disk cleanup utility for better performance.

***Delete files using Disk Cleanup***

This will help you remove the junk files in your system and optimize it for better performance.

However, if you still find issues with the .dll files creating dump files. Then, I would suggest you to run the System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for system file corruption. SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

1. Press Windows key + X, click Command Prompt (Admin).
2. In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

sfc /scannow

Hope this information is helpful. Do let us know if you need any further assistance, we'll be glad to assist you.

I tried the sfc/ scannow and the results came back with No Integral Violations, so I can only assume that means it couldn't find any corrupted folders that needed to be repaired, but I'm still getting this flood of .dmps.

I tried the Disk Cleanup but it still has no effect on the .dmps

I already tried this method before. But just to be sure I tried it again. And it had no effect unfortunately.

Hello,

In this case, I would once have you run the Deployment Image Servicing and Managementto fix the issue**.**

a) Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, press Windows key + Q and type on CMD right click on Command Prompt from the list and select Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for a confirmation, type the password, or click Allow.

b) Type the following commands. Press Enter after each command

• DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
• DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

c) Close the command prompt.

Let us know the results, we'll be glad to assist you further.
