          You can use windbg.exe to load and analyze dump files.

              @Grigore-I

              if they are real dump files, you cannot read them properly with npp.

                @Ekopalypse, For the record

                The ‘.dmp’ dumps in “AppData/Local/Crash Dumps” and “Program Files/Notepad++” are real dumps and I can open them only via WinDBG
                The ‘.dump’ dumps in “Temp/N++RECOV” are pseudo-dumps, in fact backups of the last open unsaved files in N++ at crash, and they are in text format in fact so I can recover now easily the lost documents.
