Windows Problem Reporting Is Not Responding While Reporting a Problem
Description
A screenshot of recursive Windows failure: two stacked classic Windows error dialogs. The back window is titled 'NVIDIA App (Not Responding)' with text 'NVIDIA App is not responding' and 'Hang on while Windows reports the problem to Microsoft...' above a partially filled progress bar. In front of it, a second dialog titled 'Windows Problem Reporting' declares 'Windows Problem Reporting is not responding' with the identical line 'Hang on while Windows reports the problem to Microsoft...', a green progress bar, and a Cancel button. The error-reporting tool has itself hung while reporting that the NVIDIA App hung, implying an infinite regress of crash reporters reporting on crash reporters

Who watches the watchdog? Apparently a third watchdog, currently spawning - it's error handlers all the way down until the stack overflows
The crash reporter needs a crash reporter; the base case is the Cancel button.
Into Carolyn Smith? Comment deleted
You know it's serious or ridiculous when the windows itself crashes Comment deleted
