How to Disable Error Reporting in Windows?

 The error reporting feature in Windows is what produces those alerts after certain program or operating system errors, prompting you to send the information about the problem to Microsoft.

You might want to disable error reporting to avoid sending private information about your computer to Microsoft, because you're not connected to the internet all the time, or just to stop being prompted by the annoying alerts.

Error reporting is enabled by default in all versions of Windows but is easy to turn off from either the Control Panel or from Services, depending on your version of Windows.

Disable Error Reporting in Windows 11 & 10


  • Use the WIN+R keyboard shortcut to open the Run dialog box.
  • Enter services.msc.
  • Right-click or tap-and-hold Windows Error Reporting Service.
  • Select Properties.
  • Choose Disabled from the menu next to Startup type.


Can't select it? If the Startup type menu is grayed out, log out and log back in as an administrator. Or, reopen Services with admin rights, which you can do by opening an elevated Command Prompt and then executing the services.msc command.


Another way to disable error reporting is through Registry Editor. Navigate to the registry key you see below, and then find the value called Disabled. If it doesn't exist, make a new DWORD value with that exact name.

Disable Error Reporting in Windows 8 or Windows 7


  • Open Control Panel.
  • Choose System and Security.
  • Choose Action Center.
  • Select Change Action Center settings from the left side of the Action Center window.
  • Select Problem reporting settings from the Related settings section at the bottom of the window.
  • Pick one of the four options:
    • Automatically check for solutions (the default option)
    • Automatically check for solutions and send additional report data, if needed
    • Each time a problem occurs, ask me before checking for solutions: Choosing this will keep error reporting enabled but will prevent Windows from automatically notifying Microsoft about the issue. If your concern about error reporting is only privacy related, this is the best option for you.

  • Never check for solutions: This will fully disable error reporting in Windows.
