How to permanently remove the pop-up “Error Report” on Xiaomi: proven ways

The Error Report pop-up on Xiaomi smartphones is one of the most annoying features of MIUI firmware. It pops up suddenly, interrupts and suggests sending crash data to Xiaomi even if the error is not critical. Users face this notification after app crashes, system lags or failed updates. The main problem is that the window locks the screen, requires manual closure and can occur several times a day.

In this article, we will discuss 5 working ways to disable or minimize the appearance of this window – from standard MIUI settings to hidden parameters and ADB commands. The methods are tested on MIUI 12-14 firmware and are suitable for most Xiaomi, Redmi and POCO models. Importantly, some solutions require developer rights or a PC connection, but we will describe each step in detail so that even a beginner can cope without risking damage to the system.

Why does the Error Report window appear and can it be removed completely?

The Error Report window is part of the MIUI diagnostic data collection system, which is activated when:

• 🔄 App crash (for example, if Instagram or Telegram suddenly shut down).
• 📱 System failures (interface freeze, update errors).
• 🔧 Incompatibility of software (installation of modified software) APK or older versions of the program).
• 🔄 Automatic diagnostics (if enabled System Improvement in settings).

Technically, you can't completely remove this mechanism without root rights, because it's embedded in MIUI system services.

• 🔕 Disable notifications (the window will not block the screen).
• 📵 Block the collection of reports through privacy settings.
• 🛠️ Restrict the rights of the system application com.miui.bugreport.
• 🖥️ Deactivate through ADB (rootless).
