    Every week or so I clean up system files and there's 500mb+ error dump file to be cleared out but my system has been stable at least as far as I know. Is there a reason this keeps being created?

    Windows didnt create memory dump after crashes

    Kernel dumpfiles can get very big in size.

    Did you (hard) reboot your system after you made the changes for collecting memory dumps.

    Some more info of possible causes of not configuring dumpfiles.

    Windows 10 isnt creating memory dumps

    It should still be doing a dump whether it's just from kernel space or kernel plus user space. It's possible the crashes your PC is experiencing are not allowing for a memory dump to be created. It's happened to me before when I've been pushing my overclock to far. Instead of the sad face BSOD I've gotten a hard lockup that prevented a memory dump.

    This might be worth looking over.
