Windows Error Reporting compiles error reports that occur when an application crashes and, if configured to, forwards the information on to Microsoft. Linked clone and instant clone desktops are less likely to require this feature, as the underlying OS is likely to be updated on a regular basis. This feature may be needed when using full clone desktops, though, as those desktops generally have a much longer life cycle that may require occasional application troubleshooting. The following steps outline how to disable Windows Error Reporting:

1. Using the Group Policy console, edit the local desktop or domain-based Group Policy.
2. Select the Computer Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Windows Error Reporting policy object.
3. Set Disable Windows Error Reporting to Enabled.
