Yeah I figured there was a process that did clean-up automatically.
==> I'm a software developer who writes articles and concentrates on the fun and interesting stuff.
Disk clean up after a crash is no fun at all. Seriously boring.
I expect the system to do the right thing all the time -- especially in this age of AI / Machine-Learning.
Crash and cleanup is "need to know basis". I don't want to know until I have to know.
Keep me ignorant and then I can rant about stupid Win10.
Far more fun.

Yeah, I understand. People have different expectations... 'The right thing' is relative and while you maybe wanted to keep your minidumps... others may want them cleaned up daily so they don't take up any disk space.

Agreed.

I would be very worried that the last thing it did/attempted/was doing was any sort of disk flush,
and as OP mentioned above looked for the memory.dmp file that disappeared itself without message/log/warning
Boy, that win10 really inspires confidence, not!
And yet they still tell people to upgrade to 10 because it's safer than the old [solid] w7
Have one client using a stock PC running w7 as an app/db server, only been down once in 5 years (2 years ago now) for a scheduled power outage.
w10: no thanks; stick with what actually proven works.

Win 10 - not in the same league as Windows 7 yet, and it's pretty clear that it's a management problem.

A reboot just bit me too. I had a dozen+ tabs open in two browsers researching something, 2 instances of VS. I was in the other room eating dinner when I hear the BIOS beep from my computer.
Thanks a lot Windows Update KB4074588. That was absolutely not planned or communicated.
The process c:\windows\system32\svchost.exe (MYNAMEHERE) has initiated the restart of computer MYNAMEHERE on behalf of user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM for the following reason: Operating System: Service pack (Planned)

4.2 Magnitude apparently, about 20km NNE from Swansea. A quick check on Google maps, and it was about 5 km from us.
The devastation is horrendous.
(The cat was spooked, and nothing even fell off a shelf.)
Send aid money for rebuilding now! Send it to me, and I'll coordinate it...
Still, explains the series of noises a few days ago: about 4am I was woken by a noise like a Parkinson's patient with a tea cup and saucer. Lasted maybe 30 seconds, then stopped. few minutes later, it's back. Could I find what it was? Nope. Now I know - probably a very small series of foreshocks.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

There has been a 4.6 magnitude earthquake near Nantes five days ago. Perhaps it is this one you're talking about.

Nantes and Swansea are a hell of along way away!

I was talking about the one OG felt a few days ago, not the one that took place today.

Was Griff in Nantes a few days ago?

Why are you asking that?

Griff: Had a quake in Swansea.
You: Perhaps it was the one in Nantes 5 days ago.
Me: Swansea and Nantes are a long way away.
You: I am talking about the one Griff felt a few days ago.
Me: Was he in Nantes then?
You: What are you talking about.
Me, now:

You know earthquakes can be felt several hundreds kilometers away, don't you?

Not a 4.5, and Nantes is a long way from Swansea.

In 2004, there has been an earthquake in Beaume-les-Dames (5.2 magnitude). I was home in Lyon and could feel it since my bookcase became suddenly shaky. Hence my question.
Now, I checked and indeed Swansea in quite far from Nantes. But on a geologic scale, not that far. I thought both these events, happening in a few days' window, could be somehow related.

I live in one of the most seismically active parts of France, yet never felt a quake.

This is more due to your natural stability

According to the BBC Quote: The quake was felt over all of Wales - I never felt a thing. Pah - a piddly little earthquake is no match for the Brecons (which lie between me and the epicentre)!
Definitely all @Richard-MacCutchan 's fault[^] though!

The quake was felt over all of Wales
Wouldn't that be a tsunami?
