# Crash Dump from Task Manager | ||
Normally, crash dumps are gathered automatically and available in the app's user data folder (see [Crash Dumps](crash.md)). In some cases, a user might need to manually gather a crash dump, normally for unresponsive processes. To do so: | ||
|
||
1. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc). | ||
2. Click "Details" on the left menu. | ||
3. Sort by the "Name" column. | ||
4. Scroll to find "msedgewebview2.exe" | ||
5. To find the right msedgewebview2.exe, you can use a combination of: | ||
1. The "Package name" column, which will represent the application using WebView2. (you might need to right-click the column headers, choose "select columns" and check the box for "Package name") | ||
2. The "Description" column, which will describe which of WebView2's processes it is. (you might need to make Task Manager very wide to see this one, you can drag to re-arrange the columns if needed) | ||
|
||
For example, if you're asked to get a crash dump of "Outlook's Manager process", you'll want the process that has "Outlook" as its Package name, and "WebView2 Manager" for its Description. | ||
6. Right-click the process on the list and choose "Create memory dump file" | ||
7. Once that completes, click "Open file location" | ||
8. Copy the msedgewebview2.DMP file to a location where you can share it. |
