In this Windows Error Reporting series, I will explain how WER works, how you can access the information in WER files, and how you can disable Windows Error Reporting.

But, you can't go wrong having a look at these files before you decide whether you want to enable or disable Windows Error Reporting (if you are worried that confidential data will be sent to third parties). Furthermore, you can also send the files to the support service of your software or hardware vendor in the hope that they can figure out what went wrong.In Windows 7, Windows Error Reporting files can be stored in a subfolder somewhere deep down in the ProgramData or User directory. The name of the subfolder is simply WER, and the file extension is .wer.You can use Windows Search or another desktop search tool to locate them all. However, the information in these .wer files can also be accessed through the Windows Action Center (Control Panel\System and Security\Action Center).You'll find a list of all crash reports behind t
