    Can't select "Optional diagnostic data" on child device


    I just upgraded to Win 10 - ver 2004 and can't seem to select "Optional diagnostic data" on child device - settings -> Privacy ->Diagnostics and Feedback.


    I want to make this selection in order to use the Family Safety app to set time limits for my child's app. So far, the Family Safety app only shows time used on Edge, but not any other app.


    Thanks.

    Child activity reporting

    Thank you for the response.

    Let's update the privacy settings on your child's device to get accurate usage data report of websites visited, refer to the steps below:

    • On the child's device, press the Windows key to launch the Start menu.
    • Go to Settings, then click Privacy, then click Feedback & diagnostics.
    • Under Diagnostic and usage data, make sure the level is set to Enhanced or Full. If it's set to Basic, child activity will not be reported.

    Kindly give us an update on how it goes and we will be glad to assist you further.
