description: The following analytic identifies a modification in the Windows registry
to disable Windows error reporting settings. This Windows feature allows the user
to report bugs, errors, failure or problems encountered in specific application
or processes. Adversaries use this technique to hide any error or failure that some
of its malicious components trigger.

- Sysmon Event ID 13
search:
selection1:
Details: '0x00000001'
