No more will I leave a network device's IP address set to the default!
No more will I cause my network to seize up when I put a new device on the network!
No more will I cause my network to seize up when I press the reset button on an existing device!

For anyone who believes this is all feasible...I have a bridge for sale you may be interested in.
Cheers,

If it's the router?
Perhaps: "No more shall you perform networking tasks" - that'll fix all your problems
Sin tack ear lol

I run Piriform's CCleaner from time to time to get rid of pesky tracking cookies and other vermin on my computer. Lately, several times a week, CCleaner will pop up a window stating that it can free between 1GB and 3GB of disk space, occupied by memory dumps. Why the frequent, massive memory dumps? The machine seems to be working normally otherwise.

One possible cause is that at least one program is crashing frequently, and creating dumps in the process. Looking at the event logs might be a good start.

No need if we are talking about Win10 here.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."

I could have been certainly wrong, but the OP doesn't mention an OS. Based on the limited information supplied, I did my best to give a generic answer.
You should feel free to directly follow-up with the OP and offer your solution though.

They hate Microsoft and Windows 10. I think something happened between the OP and windows 10 that they are not allowed to talk about. 
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Sorry, I did not want to step on your toes. From some other issues from a few weeks ago I remembered that he already had problems with Win10.
Memory dumps usually mean that something crashes and Windows has problems recovering. I would not be surprised if it turned out that Windows is trying to sweep the whole thing under the rug in order to spare us ignorant users having to look at a blue screen and dealing with it.

Again I could be wrong here, but from what I know, the situation you're describing where Windows has problems recovering seems more like a BSOD. If something goes wrong horribly (like a kernel mode code crashing), the OS will most likely BSOD as it cannot recover to a usable state.
While this is for errors that the OS cannot recover from, Windows could also be configured to automatically capture a crash dump every time an (even user mode) executable crashes.
Now, the new dumps could be either replace the old one, or written alongside based on how it's configured. I imagine that in the latter case, a frequently crashing program could easily cause large number of dump files over a short period of time.

As I stated below, I now have a strong suspicion that the culprit is Visual Studio 2012. I use it every day, and have seen it freezing up, or requesting to be restarted (because of memory problems). It has to be VS!

I am running Win 10, but that is not the issue. My wife has an almost identical computer with the exact same version of 10 as I have, and she never sees this happening.

In a way it may be an issue. I suspect that something you have installed frequently crashes and Windows must recover. Instead of bringing this to your attention, it may be sweeping the whole thing under the rug. Have you noticed anything else, like any unusual activity for a short time?
Anyway, first we must find out what's going wrong. Have you found anything in the logs?

Quote: Have you noticed anything else
No, not a thing. I run very few apps: Office 2010, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Visual Studio 2012 (VS often tells me it has to shut down because it's out of memory. My machine has 32GB RAM. Could this be the issue? I wonder.) and Macrium's Reflect for creating system's images. (Could Reflect cause memory dumps when it creates an image? I wonder. I can test for that.)
[Edit]:
Now that I think about it, the only app I run that does crash from time to time, is Visual Studio 2012. I see VS freezes and pop-up windows telling me to restart. It must be VS! I will check for memory dumps in future, when VS crashes.

I have not experience crashes of any nature. Your tip about the event logs is good advice, thanks!

Are you using a free version of the software, and this is a way to trick you into upgrading to the paid version? I get similar alerts from my Avast anti-virus software.

It is not the software. My wife runs the same software on her machine with the same Win 10 version as I, and she never sees this happening.

You must be on a slow Internet connection, so winio is storing all your data to upload to ms later.

Are you sure they're new memory dumps, and it's not CCleaner failing to delete them, and then offering to do it all over again every day?
Launch "View Reliability History" from Control Panel--or just start typing "reliability" from the Start menu.
This is one of those utilities most people forget about. It can display a fairly nice summary of what's been going on lately, and would tell you at a glance whether something's really been failing daily.

Yes, they are new dumps. After CCleaner deletes them, my systems drive suddenly has 1 to 3 GB more free space.

I will try this, thanks!
