Disable Dr. Watson

This feature allows you to disable or enable the Dr. Watson debugger.

If a check mark is set, Dr. Watson is disabled. If a check mark is removed, Dr. Watson is enabled.

Dr. Watson is an application debugger included with the Microsoft Windows operating system that is used to help detect, decode, and log errors that are encountered while Windows or Windows programs are running. This is supposed to be helpful in finding a solution, but sadly most of the time, that is not the case. In most cases, users simply do not use this feature, and besides, it can be annoying and slow down your PC. In this case, it makes sense to disable Dr. Watson. If you are looking for easy ways to do so, you can use the “Disable Dr. Watson” feature of the Red Button program.
