Symptoms

When Windows generates crash dump files from Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1-based or Windows Server 2012 R2-based computers, the files are collected by Windows Error Reporting (WER) for analysis. Currently, these crash dump files do not capture exception objects that are generated by the common language runtime (CLR) for crashes in the CLR code. Therefore, WER cannot adequately analyze failures in these crash dump files.
