    TUTORIAL: How to disable "Send your device data to Microsoft"


    Hi all


    If you go to Settings > Privacy > Feedback & Diagonistics, you will notice that the option closest to disabled is "Basic" under "Send your device data to Microsoft".

    However, someone discovered a nice trick to completely disable the sending of device data to Microsoft.


    Open the Registry editor, and go to

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection and make a new 32-bit DWORD called AllowTelemetry, and then set it to 0.

    Restart your computer, then go back to that Settings screen. You will see that the "Send your device data to Microsoft" option is greyed out.

    Okay, but how do you go back to the default settings where Microsoft is able to have your device data again?

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
