After hours of research and cursing when my own disk cleanup decided to
kill my OS, I figured I'd try to find a cure - and I have!
Open Regedit (start - run - regedit) and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\VolumeCaches
There you will find 4 keys called Windows error reporting.
Now if you look closely you will see that one (or more) is missing the
Folder string.
Now, lets get to fixing it.
If you are in the " Windows Error Reporting Archive Files " key
Right click - New - Expandable String Value.
Call it Folder and use the following entry:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive
If you are in the " Windows Error Reporting Queue Files " key
use: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue
If you're in the " Windows Error Reporting System Archive Files " key
use: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive
and if you're in the " Windows Error Reporting System Queue Files " key
use: %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue
This worked for me atleast, i tried removing the Folder string and the
bug was back, hope this helps guys! [image:
