-===Querying existing reports===
-*To find a report use the [http://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi Query Reports] form, where you can specify product, component, version, installation type and operating system, and a few more. To find Windows-related reports, pick "MS Windows" in the "Operating system" list.
-===Sending a new report===
-*To send a new report:
-*#[https://bugs.kde.org/createaccount.cgi create new account] (if you do not have one)
-*#[https://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1 login]
-*#go to the [https://bugs.kde.org/wizard.cgi KDE Bug Report Wizard] and read information provided there if you are new to the bug tracking system
-*#click "Continue" button and select the KDE Version (most probably 4.x) and the Distribution Method - "MS Windows Binaries", the very last item on the list.
-*#clock "Continue" button and provide appropriate amount of information in the subsequent forms.
-'''Notes'''
-*Before reporting '''make sure''' that you are not going to duplicate already existing report.
-*If you discover that the bug or a wish is not directly related to MS Windows (e.g. a bug can be reproduced on more or all operating systems), set the "operating system" field to "All" and the "platform" field to "unspecified".
