Maybe disable submission of Windows Error Reporting reports

If users report crashes in TB via Windows Error Reporting (WER) - they go to Microsoft where they are probably ignored. BUT, we can create an account and view these reports, for free I believe.
Thing link talks about the program: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/dashboard/windows-error-reporting-getting-started
To register we would need to follow these steps: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/dashboard/register-for-the-hardware-program which involve:
- Getting an EV code signing cert (done!)
- Signing a text file to prove ownship of said cert
- Creating an 'Azure AD Directory' account
- Sign 'Hardware Developer Legal Agreements
The agreements we would need to sign include:
- Azure AD Account stuff which is here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/legal/
- The nebulous 'hardware developer' agreements which I am trying to find a copy of...
It's possible we can intercept the crash handler which would normally trigger the crash reporting mechanism on windows (i.e. catch the crash and tell the OS actually nope no error here don't need your help ktx)
