Microsoft Error Reporting
Microsoft Error Reporting is a background utility component that automatically collects and sends diagnostic data to Microsoft when applications like Office, Word, Excel, or other Microsoft products encounter problems or crashes. It runs invisibly in the background and helps Microsoft developers understand what went wrong so they can improve product stability and fix bugs. Most Mac users with Microsoft software have this component installed, though many are unaware of its presence. It is essential infrastructure for the Microsoft application ecosystem on macOS.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionMicrosoft Error Reporting is a system component included with Microsoft Office and related products on macOS. As of recent versions of Microsoft Office (16.60+), Microsoft has transitioned their entire macOS application suite to Universal Binary format, which includes full native Apple Silicon support. If you have Microsoft Office 2019 or Microsoft 365 installed, Error Reporting is already running natively on Apple Silicon—it does not need to be replaced or updated separately. If you are using an older version of Office, you should update to the latest version of Microsoft 365 or Office, which will automatically provide the native Apple Silicon version of all components including Error Reporting. No user action beyond updating Office is required.
