Automatically send memory dumps for OS-generated error reports
This policy setting controls whether memory dumps in support of OS-generated error reports can be sent to Microsoft automatically. This policy does not apply to error reports generated by 3rd-party products or additional data other than memory dumps. If you enable or do not configure this policy setting any memory dumps generated for error reports by Microsoft Windows are automatically uploaded without notification to the user. If you disable this policy setting then all memory dumps are uploaded according to the default consent and notification settings.
Send data when on connected to a restricted/costed network
This policy setting determines whether Windows Error Reporting (WER) checks for a network cost policy that restricts the amount of data that is sent over the network. If you enable this policy setting WER does not check for network cost policy restrictions and transmits data even if network cost is restricted. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting WER does not send data but will check the network cost policy again if the network profile is changed.
Send additional data when on battery power
This policy setting determines whether Windows Error Reporting (WER) checks if the computer is running on battery power. By default when a computer is running on battery power WER only checks for solutions but does not upload additional report data until the computer is connected to a more permanent power source. If you enable this policy setting WER does not determine whether the computer is running on battery power but checks for solutions and uploads report data normally. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting WER checks for solutions while a computer is running on battery power but does not upload report data until the computer is connected to a more permanent power source.
Do not throttle additional data
This policy setting determines whether Windows Error Reporting (WER) sends additional second-level report data even if a CAB file containing data about the same event types has already been uploaded to the server. If you enable this policy setting WER does not throttle data; that is WER uploads additional CAB files that can contain data about the same event types as an earlier uploaded report. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting WER throttles data by default; that is WER does not upload more than one CAB file for a report that contains data about the same event types.
Do not send additional data
This policy setting controls whether additional data in support of error reports can be sent to Microsoft automatically. If you enable this policy setting any additional data requests from Microsoft in response to a Windows Error Reporting report are automatically declined without notification to the user. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting then consent policy settings in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Error Reporting/Consent take precedence.
Disable logging
This policy setting controls whether Windows Error Reporting saves its own events and error messages to the system event log. If you enable this policy setting Windows Error Reporting events are not recorded in the system event log. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting Windows Error Reporting events and errors are logged to the system event log as with other Windows-based programs.
Disable Windows Error Reporting
This policy setting turns off Windows Error Reporting so that reports are not collected or sent to either Microsoft or internal servers within your organization when software unexpectedly stops working or fails. If you enable this policy setting Windows Error Reporting does not send any problem information to Microsoft. Additionally solution information is not available in the Action Center in Control Panel. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting the Turn off Windows Error Reporting policy setting in Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Internet Communication Management/Internet Communication settings takes precedence. If Turn off Windows Error Reporting is also either disabled or not configured user settings in Control Panel for Windows Error Reporting are applied.
Turn off tracking of app usage
This policy setting prevents Windows from keeping track of the apps that are used and searched most frequently. If you enable this policy setting apps will be sorted alphabetically in: – search results – the Search and Share panes – the drop-down app list in the Picker If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting Windows will keep track of the apps that are used and searched most frequently. Most frequently used apps will appear at the top.
Turn off switching between recent apps
If you enable this setting users will not be allowed to switch between recent apps. The App Switching option in the PC settings app will be disabled as well. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting users will be allowed to switch between recent apps.
Disable help tips
Disables help tips that Windows shows to the user. By default Windows will show the user help tips until the user has successfully completed the scenarios. If this setting is enabled Windows will not show any help tips to the user.
