Microsoft Error Reporting is a system utility that runs in the background on macOS and collects diagnostic data when Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and others) encounter errors or crashes. It automatically sends anonymized error reports back to Microsoft to help the company identify and fix bugs. The app is a helper component of the Microsoft Office suite and is not directly used by end users — it operates silently to improve the reliability and stability of Microsoft's productivity software.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Microsoft Error Reporting has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still on an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version of Microsoft Office, which will automatically replace this helper component with the native build. The simplest way to update is to launch the Microsoft AutoUpdate utility within any Microsoft Office application (Help → Check for Updates), or download the current Office installer directly from Microsoft. If Microsoft Office was originally installed via the Mac App Store, update through the App Store instead. There is no separate download for this utility — it comes bundled with Office.
