With the default settings, Windows 10 performs an automatic restart when a blue screen of death (BSOD) crash happens. This gives the user very little time to see the crash code. Sometimes the minidump is created very quickly and before the user can read the crash code, it restarts. This is not useful. To find the crash event code, you then need to locate it in the Event log if the next boot is successful. The event log is very hard to reach if Windows 10 has entered into a crash loop or boot loop. But you can disable the auto restart after a BSOD to prevent this situation in the future.
