Stopping Windows Error Reports Repeating in the Event Log when System has no network access

In Windows 10 I am seeing a change in the behaviour of WER over previous versions when the PC has no access to the internet so cannot contact the WER logging site.

In older versions of Windows the WER event log entry occurred once in the Event Log when viewed using Event Viewer.

In Win 10 the WER event log entries repeat themselves every 20 or so minutes until they are removed from the Problem Reports list.

I have tried changing some of the registry settings from WER Settings - Win32 apps but have only managed to prevent the entry ever being logged which is not the behaviour I am after.

Does anyone know what settings to change to get the WER system to log to the Event Log just once when the system cannot contact the central error site?

Thanks

You are about to be logged off - Windows will shut down in 1 minute

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

I suggest you to check whether the automatic restart option is disabled or not as below.

• Press “Windows+X” and go to “Control Panel”.
• Click on “System and Security” and click on “System”.
• On the left hand side click on “Advanced system settings”.
• Click on “Advanced” tab, then under “Startup and Recovery” click on “Settings”.
• Under “System Failure” uncheck the option “Automatically Restart”.
• Then click on “ok” and check whether the issue persist or not.

Also, I suggest you to check whether any task has been schedule for automatic restart as below.

• In the search box type as “Task Scheduler”.
• Under “Task Scheduler summary” you can find any task has been created or not.
• If any task has been created then I suggest you to remove it and check if the issue persist or not.

To determine what is causing the issue, I suggest you to check the event logs in the event viewer logs to know more about the issue.

Try the following steps to access Event Viewer:

• Press 'Windows key + R' simultaneously on your keyboard to bring the run dialog box.
• Type ‘eventvwr’ (without quotes) and press ‘OK’.
• Expand ‘Windows Logs’ on the left pane and look for the error logs under Application and System.
• Copy the information and post it here so that we can analyze it.

Hope this information is helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.
