Windows 10: Windows Error Reporting High CPU load, unable to disable WER.

The following steps were used to disable the service, however it continues to run after restart.

Disabled in Windows Service Manager

Disabled in Group Policy Manager

Disabled in Control Panel, Security and Maintenance

msconfig DISABLE on startup


msconfig

UNCHECK the Windows Error Reporting Service to disable

Select Apply

The Check mark reappears for the Windows Error Reporting Service, and the Status continues to show 'Running'.


Is there a way to disable this service?

:)

 

WER (Windows error reporting collect data)

What kind of data WER Windows error report collect ??

Is there any serious privacy issue ???

 

Shutdown restarts and high CPU

I have two issues please that I would like some advice:

Conditions for error:

When I leave my computer on idle for more than 2 hours plus, the computer

1. Goes into 197% CPU usage
2. When I shutdown, goes into restart and not shut down

What have I done to resolve this?

1. This happens on two accounts
2. Updated firmware to latest bios
3. Run diagnostics; task manager, CPUID, perfmon, all with no issues reported
4. Sent the device back to the supplier for them to run diagnostics
5. Disabled high CPU applications (the biggest being qsynch)
6. Reviewed online rports and changed restrty settings on HK Local
7. Reviwed power management as suggested
8. Run Malwarebytes, Bitdefender, and EDR Comodo
9. Run qualys vulnerability scan
10. Checked windows defender

My setup:

1. Intel NUC I7 10th generation bought from simply NUC
2. 64 gb of RAM
3. 1tb Samsung 970 NVME
4. Windows 10 pro, with all latest updates
5. High speed broadband

I would be grateful for some advice re what to do next to fix this issue.

Regards,

Mike
