WERS is the Windows Error Reporting Service. the only thing it controls is whether error information is periodically sent to Microsoft.
You cannot disable windows internal error collection so errors will continue to appear in your eventlog. you may be able to change some of that behavior. see here for more info: How to disable Windows 10 system log . That said, that only really pertains to the logs, not the display of errors.
When programs display errors, its because they were programmed to do so. you cannot change that without changing the code.
so there may be a little more nuance to this than I'm discussing, but it will be the odd program that has a configuration setting that allows you to suppress errors; definitely not a norm.

You should fix the errors. Windows may be reporting important errors.
Update all drivers.
Look in Reliability History for important errors. WERS reports often land here and it is easy to see what is going on.
Look in the Event Viewer for detailed errors.
But do not just ignore errors - they are there to help prevent bigger problems. Also numerous errors in Windows cannot be disabled as they can be serious errors.
