Thread: Stop the Error Reporting Service

Microsoft's Error Reporting service is meant for improving your Windows experience. But many users find that they don't have the time or the patience to report each and every error they encounter. The constant prompting to report errors simply becomes annoying then. It is not a must to report errors and not reporting an error will not harm your system in any way at all.



To stop Windows from running the Error Reporting Service,

o Right-click the "My Computer" icon on the desktop.

o Click "Properties" and select the "Advanced" tab.

o Under the "Advanced" tab, click "Error Reporting".

o Select "Disable error reporting" and check the box for" But notify me when critical errors occur". This will disable error reporting.
