Windows wer reportqueue что это

Служба Windows Error Reporting (WER) служит для сбора и отправки отладочной информации о падении системных и сторонних приложений в Windows на сервера Microsoft. По задумке Microsoft, эта информация должна анализироваться и при наличии решения, вариант исправления проблемы должен отправляется пользователю через Windows Error Reporting Response. Но по факту мало кто пользуется этим функционалом, хотя Microsoft настойчиво оставляет службу сбора ошибок WER включенной по умолчанию во всех последних версиях Windows. В большинстве случае о службе WER вспоминают, когда каталог C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\ начинает занимать много места на системном диске (вплоть до нескольких десятков Гб), даже не смотря на то что на этом каталоге по умолчанию включена NTFS компрессия.

Служба Windows Error Reporting

Служба Windows Error Reporting при появлении ошибки показывает диалоговое окно, предлагающее отправить отчет об ошибке в корпорацию Microsoft. Когда в Windows вы видите сообщение об ошибке
YourApp has stop working
, в это время в служба Windows Error Reporting запускает утилиту WerFault.exe для сбора отладочных данных (могут включать в себя дамп памяти).

Данные пользователя сохраняются в профиль пользователя:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\wer

Системные данные – в системный каталог:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\

Служба Windows Error Reporting представляет собой отдельный сервис Windows. Вы можете проверить состояние службы командой PowerShell:

Get-Service WerSvc

Внутри каталога WER\ReportQueue\ содержится множество каталогов, с именами в формате:

  • Critical_6.3.9600.18384_{ID}_00000000_cab_3222bf78
  • Critical_powershell.exe_{ID}_cab_271e13c0
  • Critical_sqlservr.exe__{ID}_cab_b3a19651
  • NonCritical_7.9.9600.18235__{ID}_0bfcb07a
  • AppCrash_cmd.exe_{ID}_bda769bf_37d3b403

Как вы видите, имя каталога содержит степень критичности события и имя конкретного exe файла, который завершился аварийно. Во всех каталогах обязательно имеется файл Report.wer, который содержит описание ошибок и несколько файлов с дополнительной информацией.

Очистка папки WER\ReportQueue в Windows

Как правило, размер каждой папки в WER незначителен, но в некоторых случаях для проблемного процесса генерируется дамп памяти, который занимает довольно много места. На скриншоте ниже видно, что размер файла дампа memory.hdmp составляет около 610 Мб. Парочка таким дампов – и на диске исчезло несколько свободных гигибайт.

файлы Report.wer и memory.hdmp

Чтобы очистить все эти ошибки и журналы штатными средствами, откройте панель управления и перейдите в раздел ControlPanel -> System and Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Maintenance -> View reliability history -> View all problem reports (Control Panel\System and Security\Security and Maintenance\Problem Reports) и нажмите на кнопку Clear all problem reports.

очистка ошибок windows error reporing в windows

Для быстрого освобождения места на диске от файлов отладки, сгенерированных службой WER, содержимое следующих каталогов можно безболезненно очистить вручную.

  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\
  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\

Следующие команды PowerShell удалят из каталога каталогов WER все файлы, старше 15 дней:

Get-ChildItem -Path  'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive' -Recurse | Where-Object CreationTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-15) | Remove-Item -force -Recurse
Get-ChildItem -Path  'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue' -Recurse | Where-Object CreationTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-15) | Remove-Item -force –Recurse

Для очистки каталогов WER в пользовательских профилях используйте такой скрипт:

$users = Get-ChildItem c:\users|where{$_.name -notmatch 'Public|default'}
foreach ($user in $users){
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\$User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ " –Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Remove-Item –force –Recurse
}

Отключение Window Error Reporting в Windows Server

В Windows Server 2019/2016/2012R2 вы можете управлять состоянием WER с помощью PowerShell. Вы можете отключить службу Windows Error Reporting:

Get-Service WerSvc| stop-service –passthru -force
Set-Service WerSvc –startuptype manual –passthru

Но есть более корректные способы отключения WER в Windows. В версии PowerShell 4.0 добавлен отдельный модуль WindowsErrorReporting из трех командлетов:

Get-Command -Module WindowsErrorReporting

PowerShell модуль WindowsErrorReporting

Проверить состояние службы Windows Error Reporting можно командой:

Get-WindowsErrorReporting

Для отключения WER, выполните:

Disable-WindowsErrorReporting

Disable-WindowsErrorReporting -отключитьWER с помощью PowerShell

В Windows Server 2012 R2 можно отключить запись информации об ошибках Windows Error Reporting через панель управления (Control Panel -> System and Security -> Action Center -> раздел Maintenance -> Settings -> выберите опцию I don’t want to participate, and don’t ask me again

Отключение сбора ошибок службой WER в Windows Server 2012 / R2

Отключаем сбор и отправки отчетов об ошибках в Windows 10

В Windows 10 нельзя отключить Error Reporting через панель управления. В графическогм интерфейсе можно только проверить ее статус (Система и безопасность ->Центр безопасности и обслуживания -> секция Обслуживание). Как вы видите, по умолчанию параметр Поиск решения для указанных в отчетах проблем включен (Control Panel -> System and Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Maintenance -> Report problems = On).

windows10 сбор ошибок WER

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting нужно создать новый параметр типа DWORD (32 бита) с именем Disabled и значением 1.

Можно отключить сбор ошибок WER для конкретных пользователей:

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v "Disabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

Или отключить WER для всех:
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v "Disabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

отключить windows error reporting через системный реестр

Измените параметр реестра и проверьте статус параметра Поиск решения для указанных в отчетах проблем в панели управления. Его статус должен изменится на Отключено.

в windows отключен сбор ошибок и отправка в microsoft

Отключение Windows Error Reporting через GPO

Также вы можете управлять настройками службы Windows Error Reporting через групповые политики.

Запустите редактор локальной (
gpedit.msc
) или доменной GPO (
gpmc.msc
) и перейдите в ветку реестра Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Error Reporting (Компоненты Windows -> Отчеты об ошибках Windows). Для отключения сбора и отправки ошибок через WER включите политику Disable Windows Error Reporting (Отключить отчеты об ошибках Windows).

Аналогичная политика есть в пользовательском разделе политик (User Configuration).

gpo отключить windows error reporting

Обновите GPO (перезагрузка не потребуется).

В результате в Windows перестанут формироваться сообщения об ошибках Windows и отправляться в Microsoft.

The Windows Error Reporting service (WER) is used to collect the debug information about system and third-party app failures and send error reports to Microsoft servers. This information should be analyzed by MSFT and if there is a solution, it will be sent to a user through Windows Error Reporting Response. Actually, few people use this feature, although Microsoft always leaves the WER service enabled by default in the latest Windows versions. In most cases, people remember about WER when they see that C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\ occupies much space on the system drive (up to several dozens of GB) even though NTFS compression is enabled for this directory by default.

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\

Windows Error Reporting Service

Windows Error Reporting displays a dialog box when an application error occurs, prompting you to submit an error report to Microsoft. When you see the “YourAppName.exe has stopped working, Windows is collecting more information about the problem” error message in Windows, the Windows Error Reporting service runs the WerFault.exe tool to collect debug data (may include a memory dump).

User data is saved to the user profile:

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\

And the system data goes to the ProgramData directory:

%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\

The Windows Error Reporting service is a separate Windows service. You can check the status of the service using the PowerShell command:

Get-Service WerSvc

In the WER\ReportQueue\ directory there are a lot of folders with the names in the following format:

  • Critical_6.3.9600.11285_{ID}_00000000_cab_3212dd23
  • Critical_powershell.exe_{ID}_cab_332a45c5
  • Critical_sqlservr.exe__{ID}_cab_b3a200181
  • NonCritical_7.9.9600.11285__{ID}_0bfab19a
  • AppCrash_cmd.exe_{ID}_dba332ad_12eb5425

As you can see, the directory name contains the severity level of an event and the name of the specific EXE file that has crashed. In all folders, there is a file called Report.wer, which contains the description of the errors and some files with the additional information.

How to Clear the WER\ReportQueue Folder on Windows?

Typically, the size of each folder is small, but in some cases a memory dump is generated for a problem process that occupies much space. The screenshot below shows that the size of memory.hdmp is about 610 MB. A couple of such dumps can occupy several gigabytes of the system drive.

wer reportquene memoty.hdmp

To clear all these errors and logs using the built-in tools, open the Control Panel and go to System and Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Maintenance -> View reliability history -> View all problem reports, then click Clear all problem reports.

clear wer reports

To free up some disk space quickly, you can manually delete debug and log files generated by the WER service in the following folders:

  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\
  • C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\

The following PowerShell commands will remove all files older than 30 days from the WER directories:

Get-ChildItem -Path  'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive' -Recurse | Where-Object CreationTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) | Remove-Item -Force -Recurse
Get-ChildItem -Path  'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue' -Recurse | Where-Object CreationTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) | Remove-Item -Force –Recurse

To clean up the WER directories in all user profiles, use the following PowerShell script:

$users = Get-ChildItem c:\users|where{$_.name -notmatch 'Public|default'}
foreach ($user in $users){
Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\$User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ " –Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | Remove-Item –force –Recurse
}

Disable Windows Error Reporting on Windows Server

On Windows Server 2019/2016/2012R2, you can manage the WER service state using PowerShell. You can disable the Windows Error Reporting service:

Get-Service WerSvc| stop-service –passthru -force
Set-Service WerSvc –startuptype manual –passthru

You can disable WER on Windows using the built-in WindowsErrorReporting PowerShell module:

Get-Command -Module WindowsErrorReporting

WindowsErrorReporting powershell module

You can check the status of the Windows Error Reporting service with the command:

Get-WindowsErrorReporting

To disable WER, run:

Disable-WindowsErrorReporting

On Windows Server 2012 R2 you can disable Windows Error Reporting via the control panel (Control Panel -> System and Security -> Action Center -> Maintenance -> Settings -> select I don’t want to participate, and don’t ask me again.

disable windows error reporting - windows server 2012r2

How to Disable or Enable Error Reporting on Windows 10

In Windows 10 you cannot disable the Error Reporting through the Control Panel. You can check the component status in the Control Panel -> System & Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Maintenance. As you can see, the Report problems parameter is enabled.

report-problems-enabled-windows10

You can disable Windows Error Reporting on Windows 10 via the registry. To do it, create a new DWORD (32-bit) parameter with the name Disabled and the value 1 under the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting.

You can disable Windows error collection for specific users with the command:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v "Disabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

Or disable WER for everyone:
reg add "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting" /v "Disabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

disable Windows Error Reporting in windows 10 via registry

Now let’s check the status of the Report problems parameter in the Control Panel again. It should be Off.

disabled report problems

How to Disable Automatic Windows Error Reporting via GPO

You can disable logging by the Windows Error Reporting service through Group Policy. Open the local (gpedit.msc) or domain GPO (gpmc.msc) editor and go to the following GPO section Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Error Reporting. Find the policy named Disable Windows Error Reporting and set it to Enabled. This will disable Windows data collection and error reporting.

There is a similar policy in the User Configuration section.

Disable Windows Error Reporting - GPO

Update the GPO settings (no reboot required).

As a result, Windows will no longer generate application and system error messages and will no longer be sent to Microsoft.

Месяца 3 назад поставил Висту. Сегодня навёл ревизию распухших папок. В упомянутой было 2 Гб какого-то хлама и содержалось почти 3 десятка папок с назваием типа этого — Report050c7842. Рискнул удалить — ничего не случилось
А что это вообще за фигня?
Да, а по соседству ещё и папка c:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\, там 1,3 гига мусора…

Удобнее всего его чистить в «очистке диска», а вот отключить — это вряд ли

Странно, т.к. когда я выбираю св-ва диска С и очистку диска, она находит обычно 15-30мб мусора, 95% из которых составляют эскизы
И даже папки
C:\Windows\Temp
и
c:\Users\Пользователь\AppData\Local\Temp\
Пустыми не становятся, приходится чистить в ручную

Some users report that they are unable to delete the System queued Windows Error Reporting File when trying to free up some space using Disk Cleanup. This might not seem like a big deal, but some affected users report that this file is growing in size with each passing week and there’s no apparent way to get rid of it.

Cannot delete "System queued Windows Error Reporting Files"

Cannot delete “System queued Windows Error Reporting Files”

This particular issue is often reported on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. There are some cases where the System queued Windows Error Reporting File was reported to have over 200 GB in size.

System queued Windows Error Report files are used for error reporting and solution checking in all recent Windows version. While their deletion will not affect the normal functionality of your OS, removing them might prevent built-in troubleshooters and other utilities from applying the correct repair strategy.

What’s causing the System Queued Windows Error Reporting files issue?

After looking at various user reports and trying to replicate the issue, we noticed a few scenarios that were often confirmed to be responsible for the apparition of this issue. Here’s a list with culprits that are most likely causing this odd behavior:

  • Disk Cleanup doesn’t have administrative privileges – This is known to happen when the user tries to run disk cleanup without granting admin access to the utility.
  • Disk Cleanup utility is glitched – In this particular case, you have the option of navigating to the location of the files and delete them manually.
  • Windows 7 and 8 log file compression bug – Windows 7 has a long-standing bug in the Trusted Installer log that can cause your hard drive to fill up for no apparent reason.

How to delete the System Queued Windows Error Reporting files

If you’re struggling to resolve this particular issue, this article will show you a few repair strategies that others have found helpful. Below you have a collection of methods that other users in a similar situation have used to get the issue resolved.

For the best results, start with the first methods and if it’s ineffective, move down to the next ones in order until you encounter a fix that is successful in resolving the issue for your particular scenario. Let’s begin!

Method 1: Run Disk Cleanup with administrative privileges

In the vast majority of cases, the issue is caused by a privilege issue. A lot of users have reported that the issue was fixed as soon as they opened the Disk Cleanup utility with administrative privileges.

As it turns out, Disk Cleanup will be unable to remove a couple of system files unless the user grants it admin access. Here’s a quick guide on how to do so:

  1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Next, type “cleanmgr” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open Disk Cleanup with administrative privileges.
    Run dialog: cleanmgr

    Run dialog: cleanmgr
  2. When prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), choose Yes to accept.
  3. Now, select the System Queued Windows Error Reporting Files and schedule them for cleanup. You should be able to delete them without issue.

If you’re still encountering the same issue, continue down with the next method below.

Method 2: Deleting the files manually

If the first method is not effective, you might have better luck by deleting the System queued Windows Error Reporting files manually. Some users have reported that the  System queued Windows Error Reporting Files where gone from Disk Cleanup after they manually browsed and delete them from their locations.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

  1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, paste “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue” and hit Enter to open up the Report Queue folder.
    Run dialog: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

    Run dialog: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

    Note: If this command is not recognized, try this one instead: “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue

  2. If you manage to find any subfolders or files in this folder, delete them immediately and empty your Recycle Bin.
  3. Reboot your machine and return to the Disk Cleanup utility at the next startup. You should no longer see any System queued Windows Error Reporting files recommended for deletion.

If this method wasn’t effective, continue down with the next method below.

Method 3: Resolving the Windows 7 and 8 log bug

If you’re encountering this issue on Windows 7 and Windows 8, you should know that Microsoft has had this bug for a couple of years for now without releasing a hotfix.

Whenever this bug occurs, a series of log files will grow to an enormous size. But what’s even worse is that even if you delete those logs, Windows will kick in and start generating those files again (often times more aggressive than before) until you run out of space.

Luckily, there’s one manual fix that seems to have helped a lot of users to resolve the issue permanently. This method involves stopping the Windows Modules Installer service and renaming all logs to stop Windows from choking on oversized log files. Here’s a quick guide through the whole thing:

  1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “services.msc” and press Enter to open up the Services screen. If prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), choose Yes.
    Run dialog: services.msc

    Run dialog: services.msc
  2. Inside the Services screen, scroll down through the list of services to locate the Windows Modules Installer service. Once you do so, double-click on it to open the Properties menu.
  3. Once you’re inside the properties menu, go to the General tab and click on Stop to turn off the Windows Modules Installer service (under Service status).
    Stop Windows Modules Installer service

    Stop Windows Modules Installer service
  4. Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\ Windows \ Logs \ CBS
    Note: 
    If Windows is installed on a different drive, adapt the location accordingly.
  5. In the CBS folder, move or rename all files. You can rename it anything as long as you preserve the “.log” extension.
    Rename all logs

    Rename all logs
  6. When prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), choose Yes
  7. Navigate to C:\ Windows \ Temp and delete all “.cab” files that are currently residing in the Temp folder.
  8. Restart your computer and return to the Disk Cleanup utility at the next startup. You should no longer see a big System queued Windows Error Reporting entry.

If this particular method didn’t allow you to resolve the issue, move down to the final method below.

Method 4: Perform a repair install

If none of the methods above have allowed you to get the issue resolved, we’re down to the last resort. Given the fact that all the popular fixes presented above have failed, it’s very likely that the issue is caused by an underlying system file corruption.

There are a few ways to try and fix system file corruption, but we recommend doing a Repair install since it’s faster and will most likely produce the expected results.

A repair install will replace all Windows-related component with fresh copies while allowing you to keep all your personal files including media, documents, and applications. If you decide to do a repair install, follow our step by step guide (here).
