WER_S_REPORT_QUEUED

WER report was queued for later processing

WER_S_REPORT_QUEUED is HRESULT 1769474 (0x001B0002) from winerror.h. AllStat describes it as “Report was queued.” In the Windows Error Reporting collection, queue, upload, archive, assertion, or debugging workflow, the value reports a nonfailure state that must not be collapsed into plain S_OK.

Telemetry and tests should retain this result because its operational meaning differs from S_OK.

Where the status is encountered

  • WerReportSubmit and WER store processing; capture the exact API, object, and phase because the same numeric success severity does not define the state by itself.
  • Crash, hang, assertion, and application-failure reporting;
  • Enterprise policy controlling WER queue, archive, upload, debugger, and throttling;

Keep it attached to the operation that returned it. Interpreting it outside that API contract can turn a normal continuation or partial result into an incorrect retry or false completion.

What must be true before accepting it

Verify that the report is durably present in the WER queue and the application does not promise immediate delivery. The boundary determines whether the caller continues, waits, falls back, or ends the operation.

Also confirm that returned outputs belong to the current operation generation and were not inherited from an earlier attempt.

Difference from nearby results

Uploaded means transmission completed; queued means collection succeeded but delivery remains deferred.

Precise classification of it selects the correct wait, stop, retry, cleanup, or disclosure path.

Correct handling and recovery

Release application-owned temporary data only after queue persistence is confirmed, and let WER handle later upload according to policy and connectivity.

Before repeating work after it, reconcile side effects and prove that the next attempt is idempotent.

Practical scenario

A laptop is offline when a report is submitted. WER queues it, and the application records deferred delivery rather than retrying on every launch.
