Anyone else had error connecting to Windows Error Reporting Service?

[Brandon Avenue]

Beginning March 31, 2022, none of my problem reports have made it to the Windows Reporting Service. They appear in the Review problem reports control panel as Status, Not Reported. I am running Widows 7 SP1.


I opened services.msc and found the service stopped and start up manual. I started it. None of the reports got sent.

I tried sfc, and everything was OK.

A simple explanation would be that Microsoft turned off Windows 7 error reporting. However, I could find nothing to that effect. It wouldn't surprise me, but why now with no notice? Up until now, it was taking my reports and I was sending them to them.

I wondered if I should disable the service.

Has anyone else observed this?

Let me tell you a little something about Windows error reporting. Ever since I first saw this crap (yes, crap) in XP I never once submitted my error because I had a funny felling it might say more about MY computer than I wanted and, well, ever since I was in my twenties using XP I just knew better. I just knew deep down I shouldn't contribute jack to Windows with errors on MY computer at all. Besides, there should be enough talent, and testers already (which I hear isn't so any longer like it used to be). So years latter I read this article and had this reaction:
