Windows can check online for a solution

Disable "Windows is checking for a solution to the problem Thread starter Julio Franco Start date Jun 18, Introduced in Windows Vista, the infamous "Windows is checking for a solution…" message that appears right after a program crashes is downright annoying. Admittedly, while running the Windows 7 betas this was rather useful as Microsoft kept up to date information on programs that suffered from compatibility problems and hinted at potential fixes kudos for that.

But now it just gets in the way after Firefox or other well-known program crashes, I just click on Cancel immediately after getting prompted. That will take you directly to the screen above and select your desired setting. This is a much better home for this valuable tip for the years to come. Thanks for the reminder, I've been meaning to do this. Thank you so much! This never worked, so why have it I think they finally got rid of it in Win 8. Does it send error reports to MS when it says it is "Finding a solution"?

Sir Chogyal. What is the solution from windows closing programs. Turning off the message doesn't make any sense. Can you add instructions for Windows 10? Reactions: learninmypc.

Perform the following troubleshooting methods: Method 1: I would suggest you to place the computer in a clean boot state and then check if it helps. This is not ideal if you are running unattended automation scripts or hosting a game server such as Counter-Strike because the program or server software needs to be restarted automatically without user input. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

There is a misconception that you can disable the program has stopped working popup through the Action center in Windows Control Panel.

What it actually does is control the Windows Error Reporting options and lets you choose whether Windows checks automatically, asks the user or disables error reporting. The stopped working popup will still appear but with or without the check for solutions option, as shown above.

The way to disable the stopped working window from popping up completely requires something else, here are a few ways to accomplish it.

Open the Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit. This works on Windows Vista and above. Double click the DontShowUI entry on the right and change its value to 1 , then close the registry editor. The below registry file inside the zip will do that for you. Although you might have disabled the program has stopped working dialog from appearing altogether, if Error Reporting is set to automatically check for solutions, Windows will still send data to watson.

This may delay the restarting of any scripts you are running or software to automatically restart the program in the event of a crash. In this case it will be a good idea to turn Error Reporting off. The above is the safest way to turn Error Reporting off, but if you want, it can also be controlled from the registry and is a value called Disable found in the same registry key as DontShowUI.

For ease of use, below we have provided some registry files in a zip that will both enable the DontShowUI value in the registry to turn off the dialog box, and also set Error Reporting to Disabled. Thank you, Sir, for information. You mean the red circle with the white X inside? That is a system message box and cannot be changed.
