Information

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

The recommended state for this setting is: Enabled.

In high-security environments, data must never be shared with third-parties without explicit consent, as it may contain sensitive information.

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).

Impact:

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