    That program is Dr Watson that comes with windows, to be honest, it really serves no purpose, others may have other opinion on this but in 13 years, I have never had a use for it 1 time and always disable it whenever installing windows (any version)

    If you seem to have issue with this app, and wish to disable it

    How to disable Dr. Watson for Windows

    If you feel uncomfortable with using registry, I would suggest finding someone familiar with it and not make changes yourself

    You can always reenable it at any time
