If there are any dumps they will be handled by WER and stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\WER or in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps

Neither folder exist?I presume you are saying locaappdata is in the Documents and settings/username folder?

%LOCALAPPDATA% is an environment variable that expands to C:\Users\<username>\Appdata\Local

If you don't have those directories you can set some values in the registry to enable crash dumps Collecting User-Mode Dumps - Win32 apps or you can follow this guide on how to manually capture application crashes Windows 10 - Troubleshooting program crashes

Is it possible I dont have these because after installing windows 10 I went to change all the privacy settings so windows wouldn't track everything on me?

Dear all,

A program crashed and I wanted to see if there were any crash reports made of it. However, when I looked in event view, despite donig a lot of browsing, I could not find the application name listed, although potentially I am looking in the wrong section. Is there anyway to see in one go all data if any that is stored and sent to MS for their analyses?

Thanks in advance

A Crash Report is a file archive created when launching Live the next time after a crash. It contains system crash logs, information about your setup and a log of what Live has done since it was last opened. Crash reports can be accessed even if Live doesn't launch anymore.
