    '''More you use the software, more issues and wishes you can find.''' Do not keep this knowledge for you - file a bug on http://bugs.kde.org, the KDE Bug Tracking System (Bugzilla).
     
    ===Querying existing reports===
    [[Image:Kde-windows-bugzilla.png|thumb|250px|right|Bugzilla's Query form with KDE on windows product and buildsystem component selected (click to enlarge)]]
    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 here 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".
