Disable the use less Error Reporting In windows

Hi guys if your computer ever has crashing and then it was ask you to send an error report to Microsoft even a  single time, which doesn’t  help you in solving  your computer problem. I personally find the Error Report dialog to be a pain and therefore have disabled it. This is just for sending a report of crashing of software or some other issue like a messed up registry, etc to Microsoft. so it was fully safe to disable it.

There is a Windows Error Reporting (WER) (codenamed Watson) is a crash reporting technology introduced by Microsoft in Windows XP and included in later Windows versions and Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0. Not to be confused with the Dr. Watson debugging tool which left the memory dump on the user’s local machine, Windows Error Reporting collects and offers to send post-error debug information (a memory dump) using the Internet to the developer of an application that crashes or stops responding on a user’s desktop. No data is sent without the user’s consent. When a dump(or other error signature information) reaches the Microsoft server, it is analyzed and a solution is sent back to the user when one is available. Solutions are served using Windows Error Reporting Responses. Windows Error Reporting runs as a Windows service and can optionally be entirely disabled. If Windows Error Reporting itself crashes, then an error reports that the original crashed process cannot be sent at all.


So Lets turn off the error reporting popup box when a program crashes:

1. Right click on My Computer and go to Properties.



2. Next, on the System Properties dialog, click on the Advanced tab.



3. Click on the Error Reporting button at the bottom right. Choose the Disable error reporting option and make sure “But notify me when critical errors occur“.

This ensures that you’ll be notified if something serious happens, but otherwise the daily crash of IE or Word or whatever app is not going to be bothering you with a useless Send to Microsoft popups.
