Can we prevent the devices from sending the diagnostic data to Microsoft?

    Hey, Thanks for reaching out to us.

    Yes, you can.

    1. Please navigate to Windows-> Restrictions-> Allow Device Functionality. 
    2. Under ‘Allow Device Functionality’, you will find the option ‘Telemetry’.
    3. Telemetry collects diagnostic data from a Windows device and sends them to Microsoft.
    4. Click on the drop-down list next to the option ‘Telemetry’. You will be able to find different options:  Disallow, Limited, Allow.
    • Disallow: If you choose this, the off option will be checked in the device.
    • Limited: On choosing Limited, users can send only basic data to Microsoft.
    • The allowed option is the default choice. This sends the diagnostic data to Microsoft.

    Please choose the option based on your requirements. Note to associate targets and save the policy.

    Kindly use the link for more insights into restrictions.

    Cheers!
