While using Problem Steps Recorder included in Windows 7, I receive the following error when attempting to stop a recording:

An error occurred while attempting to save the recorded steps.

So far I've tried going to one monitor, changing the output path to a path in My Documents, and running PSR as an administrator, but I always get the same error message if I've recorded at least one step before stopping the recording (not recording any steps does not result in a file being saved).

How do I get Problem Steps Recorder to successfully save a recording?

My issue was resolved by removing both KB3060716 and KB3071756. Removing one or the other alone did not fix the issue.

  • Welcome to Super User! While this may answer the question, it would be a better answer if you could provide some explanation why it does so. Your link does not mention Problem Steps Recorder".

There is an update to the telemetry subsystem that will fix the error. Worked on my 64bits Windows 7 Pro SP1

You will have to reboot after aplying it. I prefer moving forward than backward with patches...
