18.8.22.1.12 Ensure 'Turn off Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program' is set to 'Enabled'

Info

This policy setting specifies whether Windows Messenger can collect anonymous information about how the Windows Messenger software and service is used. Microsoft uses information collected through the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program to detect software flaws so that they can be corrected more quickly, enabling this setting will reduce the amount of data Microsoft is able to gather for this purpose. The recommended state for this setting is: 'Enabled'. Rationale: Large enterprise managed environments may not want to have information collected by Microsoft from managed client computers.

Solution

To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to 'Enabled': Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program Note: This Group Policy path is provided by the Group Policy template 'ICM.admx/adml' that is included with all versions of the Microsoft Windows Administrative Templates. Impact: All users are opted out of the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program.
