Windows Error Reporting (WER) ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Aaron RykhusDecember 11, 20080 0 0 0 Also check outhttp://blogs.msdn.com/wer/pages/faq.aspx#weronpc Application Log Whenever an application crashes (faulting application) you should get the message name> stopped working. Once that occurs the crash details get logged in the Application windows error reporting disable Log as an Error event. If the report is sent to Microsoft the Application Log will also have an Information event windows error reporting windows 10 that contains a Bucket ID. On Windows Vista, you can open Event Viewer by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, clicking Administrative Tools, and then double-clicking Event Viewer.? If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Expand Windows Logs and select Application to select the Application log: Look on the right, a crash in an Office application should be an Error under the Level column, Application Error under the Source column, and 1000 under the Event ID column. Crash Example: crash from Outlook Fault Bucket (bucket ID) If the report was sent to us (Microsoft) there should be an Information event with Windows Error Reporting under the Source column and event ID 1001, with all the data gathered in the details. On support calls, the piece of data that's most important to me is the Fault bucket that's reported. I'll usually refer to it as the bucket ID. Problem Reports and Solutions (new in Vista) A new feature in Windows Vista is Problem Reports and Solutions in the Control Panel under the System and Maintenance category (if you don't have Classic View turned on). This will contain all the crash and hang events that occurred on a computer along with settings to configure reporting to Microsoft. To open Problem Reports and Solution in Windows Vista (not in previous versions of Windows: 1. Open Problem Reports and Solutions by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking System and Maintenance, and then clicking Problem Reports and Solutions. 2. In the left pane, click View problem history. 3. To view problems by product, date, problem type, or solution status, click the column name. Bucket ID is the same as the Fault bucket in the application log event. I prefer using Problem Reports and Solutions versus Application Log to get crash detai (עברית)المملكة العربية السعودية (العربية)ไทย (ไทย)대한민국 (한국어)中华人民共和国 (中文)台灣 (中文)日本 (日本語) HomeWindows 10Windows 10 MobilePrevious versionsMDOPSurfaceSurface HubLibraryForums Ask a question Quick access Forums home Browse forums users FAQ Search related threads Remove From My Forums Answered by: What application reads a .wer file?

Gatew Monday, February 24, 2014 Posted by Corey Harrell The Application Experience and Compatibility feature ensures compatibility of existing software between different versions of the Windows operating system. The implementation of this feature results in some interesting program execution artifacts that are relevant to Digital Forensic and Incident Response (DFIR). I already highlighted a few of these in my posts Revealing the RecentFileCache.bcf File and Revealing Program Compatibility Assistant HKCU AppCompatFlags Registry Keys. There are more artifacts associated with this feature and the Windows Error Reporting (WER) are one of them. Over the past few months WER has been discussed frequently due to the potential data it exposes when data is sent to Microsoft. However, WER can be a useful program execution artifact for incident response since malicious code - such as malware and exploited applications - cancrash on systems. This short post provides discusses WER and illustrates how it is helpful to track malware on a system. What is Windows Error Reporting Windows Error Reporting is basically a feature to help solve problems associated with programs crashing on the Windows operating system. The Windows Internals, Part 1: Covering Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 goes into more detail by stating: "WER is a sophisticated mechanism that automates the submission of both user-mode process crashes as well as kernel-mode system crashes." The service analyzes the crashed application's state and builds context information surrounding the crashed program. The book continues by saying: On default configured systems, an error report (a minidump and XML file with various details, such as the DLL version numbers loaded in the process) is sent to Microsoft's online crash analysis server. Eventually, as the service is notified of a solution for a problem, it will display a tooltip to the user informing her of steps that should be taken to solve the problem. How Does Windows Error Reporting Work? There are two registry keys responsible for WER's configuration. These keys are listed below; the first key affects system-wide behavior while the seconWindows Error Reporting Location
