  3. Windows 10 November Update 2019 19h2 Clear Activity History Removed

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand your query related to clearing Activity History of your Microsoft Account on Windows.



    As the option has been removed from Privacy settings under Windows 10, one of the workarounds that you can try is to clear the Activity History manually from the Microsoft Account webpage.



    1. Sign in to
      https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/activity-history

    2. Under Explore your data click on
      Apps and Services

    3. On the right hand side click on Clear activity
    4. Click on Clear to confirm


    However, I understand the importance of the feature for you. I would suggest you to submit a feedback using the

    Feedback Hub app
    on Windows 10, so that our engineering team can look into this and try to implement the changes.

    Clearing Activity History Problem

    Hi,

    I turned off collecting and cleared all my Activity History (Win 10 - 1803), but one file from one a month won't clear, it sticks there kind of greyed out. Nothing happens when clicked. This is a bug or ... ?

    Any idea about this?

    Regards
