App Diagnostics takes information from your apps, allowing them to work better. Some people are concerned about privacy and performance, preferring to disable app diagnostics.

Diagnostic data promises to send limited data to keep your device up-to-date, secure, and working correctly. Windows Insiders are required to allow this data. Everyone else can enable or disable app diagnostics and delete any data saved.

We can enable or disable diagnostic data and the diagnostic data viewer and delete all currently saved data.
