Stopping Windows Error Reports Repeating in the Event Log when System has no network access
In Windows 10 I am seeing a change in the behaviour of WER over previous versions when the PC has no access to the internet so cannot contact the WER logging site.
In older versions of Windows the WER event log entry occurred once in the Event Log when viewed using Event Viewer.
In Win 10 the WER event log entries repeat themselves every 20 or so minutes until they are removed from the Problem Reports list.
I have tried changing some of the registry settings from https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/wer/wer-settings but have only managed to prevent the entry ever being logged which is not the behaviour I am after.
Does anyone know what settings to change to get the WER system to log to the Event Log just once when the system cannot contact the central error site?
Thanks
