Reporting Crashes from Windows Builds ​

When QGC crashes a crash dump file will be place in the Users LocalAppData directory. To navigate to that directory use the Start/Run command. You can bring this up window WinKey+R. Type into that %localappdata% for Open and click Ok. Crash dumps will be in a QGCCrashDumps folder in that directory. You should find a new .dmp file there. Add a link to that file in a GitHub Issue when reporting you problem.

Reporting Hangs from Windows Builds ​

If Windows is telling you the QGroundControl program is unresponsive use the following steps to report the hang:

  1. Open Task Manager (right-click TaskBar, select Task Manager)
  2. Switch to the Processes tab and local qgroundcontrol.exe
  3. Right-click on groundcontrol.exe and select Create Dump File
  4. Place the dump file in a public location
  5. Add a link to the .dmp file and above details in the GitHub issue.
