Problem reporting is also known as “Error reporting”, which is a service turned on by default in all versions of Windows. When Windows detects a hardware or software error, it will automatically collect diagnostic data and report it to Microsoft. For privacy concern, you may want to disable it. In this tutorial we’ll show you 2 simple ways to turn off problem reporting for all user accounts in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Turn off Problem Reporting in Windows 10 via Registry Editor<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open Registry Editor<\/a> and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Windows Error Reporting<\/code>. Right-click on the “Windows Error Reporting<\/strong>” key in the left side and select New<\/strong> -> DWORD (32-bit) Value<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Name the new DWORD “Disabled<\/strong>“, and set its value data to 1. If you need to turn on problem reporting later, just change the value to 0.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  3. Close Registry Editor and you can now check if problem reporting is turned off. Open Control Panel<\/a> in Large icons view and click on Security and Maintenance<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Expand the Maintenance<\/strong> section and you should find the “Report problems<\/strong>” option is set to Off.<\/p>\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Turn off Problem Reporting in Windows 10 via Group Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor<\/a> and browse to: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Error Reporting<\/code>.\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      In the right pane, locate the “Disable Windows Error Reporting<\/strong>” policy and double-click it to modify.<\/li>\n

    2. Choose the Enabled<\/strong> option. Click Apply<\/strong> and then OK<\/strong>.\n

      \"\"\n<\/li>\n

    3. You can now close out of the Local Group Policy Editor window, and restart your PC to apply the changes.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      There is a registry key corresponding to the above group policy. If you’re unable to access Local Group Policy Editor, just open Registry Editor and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Policies\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Windows Error Reporting<\/code>, create a 32-bit DWORD Disabled<\/strong> and set its value to 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
