  • "Not doing anything" means, after you press Enter, nothing happens and procdump does not start? Please deescribe your problem in more detail. – Thomas Weller Jul 18 '18 at 21:50
  • My guess is that a) you should use `-x C:\myprocess.exe.dmp MyProcess.exe` and b) check whether you have write permissions on C:\ – Thomas Weller Jul 18 '18 at 21:52
  • still no result, – Karamzov Jul 22 '18 at 03:18

It's not doing anything because you didn't tell it to. Your parameters tell procdump to take two 64bit full-memory dumps (-64 -ma -n 2) 10 seconds apart (-s 10) when the process terminates (-t), not hangs.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure procdump can help you here. The hang parameter (-h) triggers when the app "does not respond window messages for at least 5 seconds" -- but a service has no window, and so presumably would never trigger this.
