Disable Error Reporting

This feature allows you to disable or enable Windows Error Reporting.

If a check mark is set, Error Reporting is disabled. If a check mark is removed, Error Reporting is enabled.

By default, Error Reporting is enabled.

Windows gives users the ability to send reports to Microsoft about errors that occur in the operating system, its components, and applications. This information is intended to help Microsoft developers improve their products. If you do not want to collect such data about your system and send it to Microsoft, you can disable this feature using the "Disable Error Reporting" setting of the Red Button program. In addition, it will free up additional resources on your computer and save you from the appearance of dialog boxes asking you to report errors, if any.
