WERS is disabled, system still displaying error(s)

I have set windows error reporting service to disabled. still receiving system errors on boot, and application launch.

how to i permanently break windows ability to display error messages?

Newish win10 computer, all other variables irrelevant.


Solution 1:

WERS is the Windows Error Reporting Service. the only thing it controls is whether error information is periodically sent to Microsoft.

You cannot disable windows internal error collection so errors will continue to appear in your eventlog. you may be able to change some of that behavior. see here for more info: How to disable Windows 10 system log . That said, that only really pertains to the logs, not the display of errors.

When programs display errors, its because they were programmed to do so. you cannot change that without changing the code.

so there may be a little more nuance to this than I'm discussing, but it will be the odd program that has a configuration setting that allows you to suppress errors; definitely not a norm.
