User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Error Reporting Description
This policy setting controls whether additional data in support of error reports can be sent to Microsoft automatically. If you enable this policy setting, any additional data requests from Microsoft in response to a Windows Error Reporting report are automatically declined, without notification to the user. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, then consent policy settings in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Error Reporting/Consent take precedence.
