Windows Error Reporting (WER) is a feedback infrastructure that collects information about hardware and software problems, reports it to Microsoft, and provides users with available solutions. WER triggers reports in response to system events such as application crashes or kernel faults.
By default, WER displays a dialog when an application crashes. In some contexts, such as automated testing or CI environments, you may want to suppress this popup.
There are multiple ways to disable WER.
#Using PowerShell
Open PowerShell and run the following command:
