Submitting a Microsoft Error Report

Issue/Question

I received following error message:

Microsoft Office has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Should I click Send Error Report or click Don't Send?

Environment

  • Microsoft Office

Cause

Microsoft Office crashed unexpectedly or a file closed incorrectly.

Resolution

Selecting either Send Error Report or Don't Send is equally fine. By clicking Send Error Report an error report will be sent to Microsoft to help them improve their software. This is completely confidential and anonymous. By clicking Don't Send nothing will be sent to Microsoft.
