Windows Error Reporting manager. E dey queue and send reports afta WerFault.exe collect crash. E no bi di crashing app.

## Wetin you need know

Dis dey ship or store di crash report. WerFault.exe na di dialog wey you just see.

wermgr.exe na di WER manager. E fit run gently afta crash to queue report. To end am no dey un-crash di app.

- **E safe?**: Check the running file path, signature, and publisher. Name alone no fit confirm say e safe.

  **Same as WerFault?**: No. Dis one dey manage di queue

  **I suppose end am?**: Pending report fit drop

Feex tok say

If wermgr dey busy afta game die, I go let di queue finish or off optional diagnostic data. I no go delete System32\wermgr.exe.

## Wetin bi wermgr.exe?

wermgr.exe na Windows Problem Reporting / WER manager. WerFault.exe dey handle di live crash. wermgr.exe dey handle di queue.

## Wetin e dey do?

E dey compress reports, dey respect diagnostic settings, and fit upload wen policy allow. E no dey scan for virus.

## Wetin make am dey run?

Crash just happen, or scheduled WER maintenance task run. Idle manager suppose comot.

## Inspect the running instance

Inside Windows PowerShell, this read-only query show matching process IDs, creation times and executable paths on this PC. (pcm)

`Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Process | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'wermgr.exe' } | Select-Object ProcessId, ParentProcessId, CreationDate, Name, ExecutablePath | Format-List`

No result or a path we no fit access is inconclusive. Protected processes fit restrict access, and process IDs fit be reused. Keep personal paths local. (pcm)

Use the [file-identity guide](https://feex.it/wiki/l/pcm/software/system/verify-executable-path-signature/) to compare signatures and product metadata. A filename alone no fit establish safety. (pcm)

## E dey safe?

Check dis running file

System32 wermgr.exe na Microsoft Windows Error Reporting. Any wermgr.exe inside "cleaner" toolkit no bi WER and make you no run am.

Compare the recorded location with the actual file. A familiar folder alone no fit establish identity. (pcm)

`C:\Windows\System32\wermgr.exe`

- Queue manager
- Fault host: WerFault.exe
- Settings: diagnostic data

## I fit end am?

Dey drop report wey dey go

To end wermgr.exe dey stop dat sending. Di crash don already happen. Use diagnostic settings if you no want reports make e comot di PC.

No

No delete wermgr.exe. Off to dey send reports inside Settings > Privacy > Diagnostics. Dat one no bi di same as to delete di manager.

## E suppose start with Windows?

Na WER or task dey start am. E no bi tray chat app.
