Apologies if this is a duplicate... my last post produced a 404 error upon hitting SUBMIT. I'm looking for input on using Visual Studio to analyze a Windows 11 BSOD minidump: Does Visual Studio provide this capability? If so, what components must be installed - I installed the "debugging" components but get an invalid format error when I open a minidump file. I know the dumps I've attempted to open are not corrupt as WinDBG reads them fine. Does VS provide any more analytical capability than WinDBG? I've had mixed results with WinDBG actually pointing me to the root cause of a BSOD Are there any web pages I can review on how to use VS to analyze a BSOD minidump? Thanks!
