The default location for Windows is usually a temp directory such as:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\ eg C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp (generated by PA)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp\CrashDumps\ eg C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\CrashDumps\PA.exe.NNNNN.dmp (generated by Windows)

Crash dump files are named like:

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx.dmp (generated by PA on all operating systems)
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp\CrashDumps\PA.exe.NNNNN.dmp (generated by Windows)

The environment variable MINIDUMP_DIRECTORY can be used to change the location where crash minidump .dmp files are saved for local servers.
