Failed to write core dump. minidumps are not enabled by default on client version of windows


Updating Java to latest version.

You have a problem in native code. Updating Java will unlikely help in that situation.

Update Windows

This will only help if the native code that you use is updated through Windows Updates.

Enable Mini-dumps through Advanced System Settings -- > Startup & Recovery -- > Settings -- > Choosing 'small memory dump'.

This setting is for kernel mode crashes (Blue Screen), not for application crashes (user mode). There is also a setting for application crashes (a Registry setting called LocalDumps) but it won't work for Java, since Java does its own exception handling.

To get crash dumps from Java 9 and above, use the following command line switch:

-XX:+CreateCoredumpOnCrash

On Java 8 and before, use the Windows specific command line

-XX:+CreateMinidumpOnCrash

This will give you more details on what happens at the time of the crash. It will still be an AccessViolation but you'll get the callstack etc. - if you have the knowledge of debugging it with WinDbg or similar.

Update Graphic Driver to latest from official producer's (Nvidia) website.

There's no evidence that this is related to the Graphics card.


Had a similar issue with JDK 1.8.0_261, did downgrade the version to JDK 1.8.0_251 and the same resolved the issue. May be you can try to upgrade the JDK version. Looks like a bug as per the below links:
