Details

PssCaptureSnapshot is only supported starting with Windows 8.1. There is another undocumented way to do this on Windows 7 and Windows 8 (RtlCreateProcessReflection), but we could start with this. Essentially the Windows kernel forks a dormant clone off of the target process, which then allows you to obtain your minidump from the clone while the target process continues to execute.
