AFAIK only option is to remove the crash report file before VLC startup.

That really isn't a solution for Windows users.

you're claiming windows has no equivalent saved data and the crash reports work by a totally different mechanism?

IMO you just have find the equivalent file and it will work on windows too.

Windows and Mac are different crash handler.

I noticed that the VLC 3.0.6 creates a DMP file at the %appdata%\vlc\crashdump after a normal exit.
This behavior in turn causes the popup, as the %appdata%\vlc\crashdump is not empty at the next start.

What is a root cause for the behavior?
How to stop it?
