3 years agoI accidentally clicked "Always Send" on a crash report dialog. How can I turn that setting off?
I prefer the default behavior where I can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to send a crash report. I didn't find anything in Preferences, or from searching the forum and google.

From the link above. Share analytics information from your Mac with Apple - Apple Support
If you agree, we may share your crash data with Apple’s partners and third-party developers to improve their software, hardware, and services designed for use with Apple products. Apple may also provide such partners and third-party developers with a subset of analytics information that is relevant to that partner’s or developer’s software, hardware, and/or services, as long as the information is in a form that does not personally identify you.

Opt out of sharing analytics:
You can opt out of sharing analytics from your Mac at any time.
1. Choose Apple menu > System Settings, click Privacy & Security in the sidebar, then click Analytics & Improvements on the right. (You may need to scroll down.)
2. Turn off Share Mac Analytics.
3. Turn off “Share with app developers” to stop sharing analytics data with app developers.
It's possible this is a bug within macOS where the options are not shown enabled. You may wish to consider reaching out to Apple too. Just last night I needed to direct another user to Apple for a similar bug within his login items.
