This PowerShell script changes the working directory to the crash dumps directory (Windows only). Whenever a software crashes and crash dumps are enabled(!) a crash dump file is written. This file helps to identify the reason for the crash.
.EXAMPLE
PS> ./cd-crashdumps.ps1
📂C:\Users\Markus\AppData\Local\CrashDumps with 3 files entered.
