What is Software Reporter Tool
Software Reporter Tool is a Chrome cleaning tool used to clean up unnecessary or malicious extensions, applications, hijacking the start page, etc. in Google Chrome. When you install Chrome, Software_reporter_tool.exe will also be downloaded in the Chrome application data folder under the SwReporter folder.
How to turn off SRT
This software may occupy the CPU for a long time during the running process, resulting in high CPU usage. Although we can manually end the process through the task manager or choose to delete the SRT, this is not a long-term solution. Because the former will run again after a while, the latter will be downloaded again when the browser is updated. To solve this problem perfectly, we can enter the SRT directory, which is located in the following directory by default
C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\SwReporter\[版本]\software_reporter_tool.exe
We can also open the run command window through the win+r key and enter the following command to quickly find it
%localappdata%\Google\Chrome\User Data\SwReporter
1. Right-click software_reporter_tool.exe and select properties
2. Go to the "Security" tab
3. Click "Advanced"
4. Click "Disable inheritance"
5. Select "Remove all inherited permissions from this object", and then click " "OK" "OK".
Then no one can access the SwReporter folder and start the Software Reporter Tool.
Wiping the one above doesn't work. I found another one that worked today (20200302) and picked it up.
2.Chrome disable software_reporter_tool

After I turned it on today, from a few minutes to half an hour, I felt that the response of the machine was a little slow, and I found that the CPU occupies 80-90%. Check the task manager,
there is a software_reporter_tool.exe program that takes up half of the CPU usage. Go to the folder where the file is located, and find that it is a file used by Google Chrome.
Query the file and find that software_reporter_tool.exe will scan the system, similar
to a scheduled task of Chrome, which starts scanning once a week and runs for approximately 20-25 minutes. It will scan the
Google Chrome browser for program problems that fail to run normally, such as failing to close
Chrome for many times , or some malware or applications that cause errors in the running of the Chrome browser, it will scan the surface to check the problem and notify you and Delete the infected program.
Simply put, the Software Reporter Tool is a Chrome cleanup report tool that helps keep Google Chrome running normally. But the inefficiency makes me feel the system is delayed, and I have to find a way to stop it in the future.
File location: C: Users {your user name} AppData Local Google Chrome \User Data SwReporter {version number} software_reporter_tool.exe The
method to see online is to modify the Chrome settings, "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports to Google "The option is closed, I saw that my setting itself is closed. The solution was invalid, and then I found the easiest way by myself,
Edit the manifest.json file under C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\SwReporter\36.184.200:
"allow-reporter-logs": true change to "allow-reporter-logs": false
In this way it will stop running by itself and will not start again next time.

The modification in the registry has the same effect as the modification in the group policy, and the group policy modification interface is easy to operate:
Run gpedit.msc, start Group Policy, open "User Configuration" → "Administrative Templates" → "System";
click the "System" directory, find "Do not run the specified windwos application" in the right window, double-click to open, enter " Do not run the specified windows application properties window;
select "enabled", then click the "display" button, enter the "display content" window, click the "add" button;
in the "add project" window, enter the exact application Name: such as QQ.EXE, etc. OK, return to the "Group Policy" main interface.
In the registry, the relevant keys are
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun
If there is no such key item, add this key item manually.
Create a new string value in the right window, the value is the name of the program to be prohibited.
Or, modify the following content, copy it to Notepad, and save it as a .reg file (or save it as a .txt file first, then modify the suffix .txt to .reg, in the folder options, view it, and put "Hide Known The suffix can be modified after canceling the file type extension). Note that xxxxx represents the name of the program that needs to be prohibited. Then, double-click the .reg file and import it into the registry to take effect:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\DisallowRun]
"1"="xxxxx.exe"
