Description

OBSOLETE: This policy is obsolete and doesn't work after Microsoft Edge 88.

This policy is no longer supported. It's replaced by 'DiagnosticData' (Send required and optional diagnostic data about browser usage) (for Windows 7, Windows 8, and macOS) and Allow Telemetry on Win 10 (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099569).

This policy enables reporting of usage and crash-related data about Microsoft Edge to Microsoft.

Enable this policy to send reporting of usage and crash-related data to Microsoft. Disable this policy to not send the data to Microsoft. In both cases, users can't change or override the setting.

On Windows 10, if you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge defaults to the Windows diagnostic data setting. If you enable this policy, Microsoft Edge only sends usage data if the Windows Diagnostic data setting is set to Enhanced or Full. If you disable this policy, Microsoft Edge won't send usage data. Crash-related data is sent based on the Windows Diagnostic data setting. Learn more about Windows Diagnostic data settings at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2099569

On Windows 7, Windows 8, and macOS, this policy controls sending usage and crash-related data. If you don't configure this policy, Microsoft Edge defaults to the user's preference.

To enable this policy,'SendSiteInfoToImproveServices' (Send site information to improve Microsoft services) must be set to Enabled. If 'MetricsReportingEnabled' (Enable usage and crash-related data reporting) or 'SendSiteInfoToImproveServices' is Not Configured or Disabled, this data won't be sent to Microsoft.

This policy is available only on Windows instances that are joined to a Microsoft Active Directory domain, Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise instances that enrolled for device management, or macOS instances that are managed via MDM or joined to a domain via MCX.
