WER_S_DISABLED
Windows Error Reporting is disabled
WER_S_DISABLED is HRESULT 1769475 (0x001B0003) from winerror.h. The documented description is “Reporting was disabled.” 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;
What must be true before accepting it
Verify that the disabled state comes from explicit system, user, or organizational policy rather than a transient submission failure. Without the boundary check, the HRESULT can hide stale output, pending ownership, or omitted work.
Difference from nearby results
Queue-disabled and archive-disabled affect individual stages; it disables reporting as a whole.
Correct handling and recovery
Respect the policy, preserve only application-local diagnostics allowed by policy, and do not loop on WerReportSubmit. Surface configuration guidance only to authorized administrators.
Practical scenario
A managed workstation disables WER by policy. The application writes its minimal local log and omits upload attempts.
