Turn off Windows Error Reporting
Stops crash reports from being collected and sent.
Applying it needs Nexus Standard or Pro. Every plan can read it here and undo it in Restore Center. Compare plans
What it changes
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\Disabled = 1 Service WerSvc: Disabled
Before anything is written, the review screen shows this setting's current value on your PC next to the new one.
Why it helps
No background crash-report processing after app crashes.
Trade-offs
Crash reports are not available to you or developers when troubleshooting.
Evidence
Moderate evidence means: helps in specific situations. Expected impact is small (1 of 3): how much it can matter when this is actually the bottleneck on your PC, not a promised gain.
Is it in a pack?
No. Packs only contain Safe tweaks, and this one is labelled Caution.
How to undo
Switch the tweak off in Nexus, or open Restore Center and restore this change (or choose Undo last change). Nexus writes back the original value it recorded before applying, not a generic default, then reads it back to confirm.
