The error reports from the Windows Problem Reporting can be used to provide its users to troubleshoot information, updates or solutions for their specific computer problems. The wermgr.exe file can be launched automatically upon registering itself on Windows Task Scheduler. This report includes heap dump and minidump information whenever the user requires them. WER API applications are used to send application-specific problem reports to Microsoft Windows operating system. Error reporting systems sends available data through the Internet to Microsoft. Microsoft Windows reports unhandled exceptions automatically, though fatal exceptions are not handled. Whenever the not-responding process or faulting is interactive, WER displays the user a user interface informing of the problem.
