Information
This policy setting controls whether additional diagnostic logs are collected when more information is needed to troubleshoot a problem on the device.
The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled
Note: Diagnostic logs are only sent when the device has been configured to send optional diagnostic data. Diagnostic data is limited when recommendation Allow Diagnostic Data is set to Enabled: Diagnostic data off (not recommended) or Enabled: Send required diagnostic data to send only basic information.
Sending data to a third-party vendor is a security concern and should only be done on an as-needed basis.
Solution
To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Enabled :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds\Limit Diagnostic Log Collection
Note: This Group Policy path may not exist by default. It is provided by the Group Policy template DataCollection.admx/adml that is included with the Microsoft Windows 11 Release 21H2 Administrative Templates (or newer).
Impact:
Diagnostic logs and information such as crash dumps will not be collected for transmission to Microsoft.
