I was trying to go to those paths provided to get the .hdmp and .dmp files but there’s nothing where it points in that report.

Any idea how to handle this situation?

    I think your service crash dumps maybe written to here:

    %WINDIR%\System32\Config\SystemProfile

    according to this not sure if this is still the same path for Win 8.

    You can use AdPlus or ProcDump or programmatically do this using MiniDumpWriteMiniDump to write the memory dumps to a location of your choice, also ETW can be used for event tracing.

    The dump files can be open in Visual studio or WinDbg and you can then look at the app state.

    In WinDbg:

    !analyze -v

    will attempt to find the cause of the crash for you, hope this helps.
