Information

Enhanced diagnostic data must be limited to the minimum required to support Windows Analytics.

GROUP ID: V-253392
RULE ID: SV-253392r991589

Some features may communicate with the vendor, sending system information or downloading data or components for the feature. Limiting this capability will prevent potentially sensitive information from being sent outside the enterprise. The 'Enhanced' level for telemetry includes additional information beyond 'Security' and 'Basic' on how Windows and apps are used and advanced reliability data. Windows Analytics can use a 'limited enhanced' level to provide information such as health data for devices.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Data Collection and Preview Builds >> 'Limit optional diagnostic data for Windows Analytics'

to 'Enabled' with 'Enable Desktop Analytics collection' selected in 'Options:'.
