Microsoft collects information about your Windows devices through a feature called Diagnostic data and feedback. When you enable sending diagnostic data and feedback in Windows, Microsoft uses that diagnostic information to keep Windows secure and up to date, troubleshoot problems, and make product improvements. There’s also a related feature called Tailored experiences that let’s use your Windows diagnostic data to offer you personalized tips, ads, and recommendations to enhance Microsoft experiences. In diagnostic data collection settings, if Required is chosen, then personalization is based on information about your device, its settings and capabilities, and whether it is performing properly. Optional diagnostic data collection will be based on information about how you use apps and features, plus additional information about the health of your device. Below is how to disable or enable Tailored experiences in Windows 11.
