Dr. Watson Error
up vote 73 down vote favorite 40 When an application crashes on Windows and a debugger such as Visual Studio is installed the following modal dialog appears: [Title: Microsoft Windows] X has stopped working A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. [Debug][Close Application] Is there a way to disable this dialog? That is, have the dr watson windows 7 program just crash and burn silently? My scenario is that I would like to run several automated tests, some of which will crash due to bugs in the application under test. I don't want these dialogs stalling the automation run. Searching around I think I've located the solution for disabling this on Windows XP, which is nuking this reg key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug\Debugger However, that did not work on Windows Vista. windows testing windows-vista crash-reports windows-error-reporting share|improve this question edited Jul 2 '15 at 9:42 Wolf 3,36421545 asked Dec 28 '08 at 16:39 Chris Smith 9,23674471 Nuking the AeDebug\Debugger key had no effect for me under Windows XP, either on console apps compiled with debugging or non-debugging libraries. –rptb1 Jul 15 '13 at 14:41 add a comment| 11 Answers 11 active oldest votes up vote 49 down vote accepted To force Windows Error Reporting (WER) to take a crash dump and close the app, instead of prompting you to debug the program, you can set these registry entries: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting] "ForceQueue"=dword:00000001 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\Consent] "DefaultConsent"=dword:00000001 After this is set, when your apps crash, you should see *.hdmp and *.mdmp files in: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ share|improve this answer answered Dec 28 '08 at 18:47
operating system. It may be named drwatson.exe, drwtsn32.exe or dwwin.exe, depending on the version of Windows. It is named after Doctor Watson of Sherlock Holmes fame, the idea being that it would collect error information (symptoms) following a program

feedback services.[1] The original name of this diagnostic tool was "Sherlock".[2] The information obtained and logged by Dr. Watson is the information seterrormode c# needed by technical support personnel to diagnose a program error for a computer running Windows. A text file (usually drwtsn32.log) is created whenever an error is detected, and can be delivered to support personnel by the method http://stackoverflow.com/questions/396369/how-do-i-disable-the-debug-close-application-dialog-on-windows-vista they prefer. A crash dump file can also be created, which is a binary file that a programmer can load into a debugger. Dr. Watson can be made to generate more exacting information for debugging purposes if the appropriate symbol files are installed and the symbol search path (environment variable) is set. When a program error occurs in Windows, the system searches for a program error handler. A program error handler deals with errors as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Watson_(debugger) they arise during the running of a program. If the system does not find a program error handler, the system verifies that the program is not currently being debugged and considers the error to be unhandled. The system then processes unhandled errors by looking in the registry for a program error debugger for which Dr. Watson is the default. A third-party debugger can also be used in place of Dr. Watson. The Watcom C Compiler includes a similar crash-analysis tool named "Dr. Watcom".[3] Beginning with Windows XP, Dr. Watson (drwtsn32.exe)[1] was extended with (dwwin.exe) "Problem Reports and Solutions".[4] On some versions of Windows the older version (drwatson.exe) may be available by typing "drwatson.exe" into the command prompt box or in the 'Search programs and files' box in the Start menu in Windows7.[citation needed] See also[edit] Windows Error Reporting References[edit] ^ Chen, Raymond (10 August 2005).

These crashes usually result in the infamous Dr. Watson error. First, let's discuss terminology. A crash is when something experiences a fault and has no choice but to exit. In the case of an user mode process that generally means a Dr. Watson popup and application exit, and in the case of the kernel, a Bugcheck. A crash can be caused by something as simple as a value being set to zero when a function is expecting anon-zero response, or trying to access asectionin memory that
