If a program stops working or responding, Windows 10 can automatically report the problem to Microsoft and check for a solution. By default, Windows 10 collects information that describes the problem. This is called a problem report. It can include the name of the program that has stopped working, the date and time when the problem occurred, and the version of the program that has encountered the problem. Sending a problem report allows Windows 10 to notify you if a solution is available. This is called "Error Reporting". If you are not happy with the OS behavior, for example, because of privacy or disk space issues, you might want to disable it.
