By default, Windows 10 will automatically collect diagnostic and usage Data by using the built-in Telemetry feature. According to Microsoft, it helps to improve the quality of Windows. If you’re worry about this automatic data collection for privacy concern, here are simple ways to restrict \/ disable Telemetry from collecting diagnostic and usage data in Windows 10.<\/p>\n

Method 1: Change Diagnostic and Usage Data Settings from Settings<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Press the WIN + I keys together to open the Settings app. Click Privacy<\/strong>.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n

  2. Under the Feedback and diagnostics<\/strong> section, you can select how much data you send to Microsoft. By default, it’s set to Full<\/strong>, which sends pretty much everything. If you choose Basic<\/strong>, Windows 10 will send the minimum amount of data to Microsoft’s servers.\n

    \"\"\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Method 2: Change Diagnostic and Usage Data Settings from Group Policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor<\/a>. Browse to the following location:
      \nComputer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Data Collection and Preview Builds<\/code><\/p>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      \tNext, double-click on the policy “Allow Telemetry<\/strong>” appearing on the right pane.<\/li>\n

    2. Select the Enabled<\/strong> checkbox. Under the Options section, you can choose the data collection level: Security<\/strong>, Basic<\/strong>, Enhanced<\/strong>, Full<\/strong>.\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Note that the Security<\/strong> option only takes effect for Windows 10 Enterprise edition. If you’re running Windows 10 Home\/Pro, Basic<\/strong> is the lowest telemetry level you can choose.<\/li>\n

    3. Click OK<\/strong> to save your change. Once you apply this policy, the option to change diagnostic and usage data in Settings app becomes grayed out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Method 3: Prevent Windows 10 from collecting Diagnostic and Usage Data<\/strong><\/p>\n

      If you want to completely stop the Windows 10 telemetry from sending out any data to Microsoft, you can disable the “Connected User Experiences and Telemetry” service. Follow these steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Press the WIN + R keys together to open the Run dialog. Type services.msc<\/strong> and press Enter.\n

        \"\"\n<\/li>\n

      2. When the Services window opens, locate the service “Connected User Experiences and Telemetry<\/strong>” in the right pane, and then double-click it.\n

        \"\"\n<\/li>\n

      3. Select Disabled<\/strong> from the “Startup type” drop-down box, and click the Stop<\/strong> button to stop the running service. Click OK<\/strong> to save your changes.\n
