The Windows Error Reporting feature is what creates these alerts after certain program or operating system errors, and asks you to send Microsoft information about the problem.


You may want to disable error reporting to prevent private information about your computer from being sent to Microsoft because it is not constantly connected to the Internet, or simply to stop receiving unpleasant messages.


Error reporting is enabled by default in all versions of Windows, but can be easily disabled from the control panel or from services depending on your version of Windows.

Before disabling error reporting, keep in mind that this is not only beneficial for Microsoft, but is ultimately a good thing for you, the Windows owner. These error messages send important information about an operating system or program issue to Microsoft and help them develop future fixes and service packages that make Windows more stable.
