Information

This policy setting turns off cloud optimized content in all Windows experiences.

The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled.

Rationale:

Due to privacy concerns, data should never be sent to any third-party since this data could contain sensitive information.

Impact:

Windows experiences that use the cloud optimized content client component, will present the default fallback content instead of customized content.

Solution

To establish the recommended configuration via GP, set the following UI path to Enabled:

Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Cloud Content\Turn off cloud optimized content

Note: This Group Policy path may not exist by default. It is provided by the Group Policy template CloudContent.admx/adml that is included with the Microsoft Windows 10 Release 20H2 Administrative Templates (or newer).

Default Value:

Disabled. (Windows experiences will be able to use cloud optimized content.)
