File extension .HDMP
| Full Name | Developer | Category |

| Microsoft Windows Heap Dump Format | Microsoft | System Files |
The .HDMP file extension is used by Microsoft Windows operating systems to store crash dump files, also known as heap dumps. A HDMP file contains the contents of an application's memory in a raw binary form for diagnostic and debugging purposes. Such files are usually generated when an application crashes or stops responding, and they provide a way to investigate what might have gone wrong. These files can be opened with a debugger program and inspected for any possible clues of errors.
Components of an HDMP File
An HDMP file contains allocated memory, heaps, global variables, threads, instructions from the program’s call stack, parameters that were passed to each subroutine initially, and other useful information. The exact contents of HDMP files depend on the type of debugging used when they were created. All the elements can help to diagnose potential problems and determine which instructions have been executed thus far when the application has crashed.

.DMP, .MEM, .MHD, .CAB, and .HDL are a few of the most commonly used file extensions for Windows dump files.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .HDMP) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .HDMP extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .HDMP file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .HDMP extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .HDMP extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .HDMP file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .HDMP file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .HDMP file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .HDMP file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .HDMP file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
