Disable error reporting

Overview

About this script

This script improves your privacy on Windows.

These changes use Windows system commands to update your settings.

This script disables the Windows Error Reporting (WER) feature.

Windows Error Reporting collects and sends error logs from your computer to Microsoft 1, which can be a potential privacy concern for users. By disabling it, this script ensures that your system errors remain local to your machine and are not sent to external servers.

Here's a breakdown of what the script does:

1. Registry Changes: The script modifies specific registry entries to disable the WER functionality and its related settings.

2. Scheduled Tasks: The script disables scheduled tasks related to error details updates and queue reporting.

3. Services: The script disables the services related to error reporting.
