If you do not want error information operating system And installed programs saved on your computer and sent to Microsoft, you can configure settings for saving and sending Windows 7 error reports.

Error reporting and troubleshooting options can be configured in two ways:

Important: After changing your error reporting settings, you will not be able to receive troubleshooting information from the Center Windows support 7. Change these settings only if you know exactly why you need it.

Configure error reporting using Windows 7 Action Center

1. Open Control Panel > Action Center.

2. Click Maintenance > Options.

3. To change the error reporting settings for your account, select one of the following options:

  • Automatically check for solutions (recommended)– every time an error occurs, Windows 7 will generate a full report about the critical event. Then, if you have an Internet connection, this report will be automatically sent to Microsoft. If a solution to this problem is available in Microsoft database, then a notification about this will appear in the Support Center;
  • Automatically check for new solutions and, if necessary, send additional report data - practically, this setting is no different from the previous one;
  • Each time a problem occurs, display a prompt before checking for solutions– when an error occurs, Windows 7 will generate a critical event report. A dialog box will then appear asking you to report the problem to Microsoft. If you agree and are connected to the Internet, a report will be sent and if a solution is found, you will receive a notification in the Support Center. If you refuse to send a report, the error information will be saved on your computer, but will not be sent to Microsoft, and you will have to find a solution to the problem yourself;
  • Don't check for new solutions (not recommended)– when an error occurs, Windows 7 will generate a report about the critical event and save it on the computer. No information will be sent to Microsoft.

To disable error reporting certain programs, press Select programs to exclude from the report.

To set up error reporting for all users on your computer, log into Windows 7 as an administrator, open Control Panel > Action Center > Maintenance > Settings and press Change reporting options for all users.

Configuring Error Reporting Using Local Group Policy Editor

Since the local editor group policy not present in all this method can only be applied to Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise.

Important: Settings made in the Local Group Policy Editor take precedence over settings made in the Action Center.

1. Log into Windows 7 with administrator rights.

2. Open the Start menu, enter search bar and press Enter.

3. In the left menu of the Local Group Policy Editor, open: Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows components-> Windows Error Reports.

4. Perform one or more actions:

To prevent Microsoft from sending additional error data, double-click Do not send additional data, select Turn on and press OK. If this setting is enabled, any requests from Microsoft for additional data in response to events in Windows error reporting will be automatically rejected without notification to the user.

To disable error reporting, double-click Disable Windows Error Reporting, select Turn on and press OK. If this setting is enabled, then if errors are detected, Windows 7 will not send information about them to Microsoft. However, you will not be able to receive information about solutions to problems through the Support Center.

To disable error reporting, double-click Disable logging, select Turn on and press OK. If this setting is enabled, Windows error reporting events will not be recorded in the system event log.

Monitoring and diagnostics


Greetings, dear curious readers! Today we will find out how to disable the message “Windows has encountered problems hard drive" Usually such an expletive actually indicates problems with your hard drive. In my case it appeared after Windows installations on HDD with a certain number of bad blocks and an unacceptably large value of attribute No. 5 (Reallocated Sectors Count) in SMART. We will look at how to check a hard drive for errors separately, but now we’ll just turn off this window so that it doesn’t interfere with work with its sudden appearances. Nevertheless, as soon as the opportunity arises, I recommend replacing the hard drive with a new one.

Let's go to the Group Policy Editor. To do this, press Win + R and write: gpedit.msc.

The Local Group Policy Editor will open. Let's go to the address: Computer configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System-> Diagnostics -> Disk diagnostics.

There we will find two parameters that we will deal with. Double-click on the first parameter and in the next window set the value to Disable. Click OK.

Error reporting is enabled by default in XP, Vista, and Windows 7. When an application encounters an error, a detailed description of the error appears and you are prompted to send this information to Microsoft. This information obtained from millions of PCs all over the world and helps in creating patches and service packs. In some cases, independently analyzing error information helps in solving the problem. However, in some cases this system behavior is not acceptable and you would like to disable this functionality. In this article we will look at methods for disabling error reporting in all systems.

Windows 7

Open start menu and enter into the search bar problem reporting settings, or go to Action Center -> Change Action Center Settings -> Problem Reporting Settings. If you used the search method, select “Choose how to report problems”:

You can then easily select the option you need from the list.

The Local Group Policy Editor will open. Next you need to go to the User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Error Reporting section and go to the policy Disable Windows Error Reporting.

Change the policy status from Not Configured to Enabled, then click Apply and Ok and exit the Group Policy Editor.

Disabling Error Reporting in Vista

To disable error reporting in Vista, click on Start and open the Control Panel.

Switch the control panel to classic display mode and click on Problem Reports and Solutions.

As you can see, we are offered two options. If you choose Ask me to check if a problem occurs, error reporting will be enabled and you will be given the choice to send the information to Microsoft or not. If you choose Check for solutions automatically (recommended) all data will be sent to Microsoft automatically. Both options are not suitable for us, since we want to completely disable this functionality, so we will click the link Advanced Settings.

In the window that appears, in the section For my programs, problem reporting is… select Off and then click Ok.

As you can now see, the previous options are not editable.

Click Close on the message telling us that error reporting has been disabled.

We were wondering where to buy good and inexpensive clothes for a child. I recommend children's stock online store with a huge selection and low prices.
