Windows 10: The "Open Diagnostic Data Viewer" is broken in Windows 10 64 Version 2004

When I click on the Open Diagnostic Data Viewer under the Diagnostics & feedback Settings, the Viewer momentarily opens and then it immediately shuts off. I am using Windows 10 64 Home Edition and the latest version 2004 OS Build 19041.0329. The Viewer was working correctly before installing Version 2004.

Microsoft to Introduce Telemetry Data Viewer for Windows

Remember all that talk and noise regarding Microsoft's "automagical" telemetry data collection, and how that spurred the company to create a "telemetry-less" version of its Windows 10 operating system for the Chinese market? It seems Microsoft is keen to keep giving users more information on exactly what information is gathered and when - slowly but assuredly striving for greater transparency, and looking to garner increased trust from consumers and enterprises alike.

The much awaited capability is being baked in to the next major Windows 10 release, and Microsoft is giving Windows Insiders an early preview of the Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer utility. Adding to this new utility are some changes to the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard that will enable users to see and manage more data associated with their Microsoft accounts. Available to everyone in the Microsoft Store, the Diagnostic Data Viewer is separate from the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard, and "allows you to see, search, and take action with your diagnostic data." It's not clear yet what sort of telemetry features users will be able to stop Microsoft from collecting, if any. However, at least now you'll be able to look at exactly which processes and services are collecting data form your system. The diagnostic data that will be viewable in the new utility follows.

• Common Data, like the Operating System's name, the Version, Device ID, Device Class, Diagnostic level selection and so on.
• Device Connectivity and Configuration such as device properties and capabilities, preferences and settings, peripherals, and device network information.
• Product and Service Performance data that show device health, performance and reliability data, movie consumption functionality on the device and device file queries. It's important to note that this functionality is not intended to capture user viewing or, listening habits.
• Product and Service Usage data includes details about the usage of the device, operating system, applications, and services.
• Software Setup and Inventory such as installed applications and install history, device update information.

Microsoft Privacy Dashboard
Updates to the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard include a new Activity History page, which aims to provide a clear and easy to navigate way to see the data that is saved with users' Microsoft accounts. The Microsoft Privacy Dashboard further allows users to manage their data and change what data is collected by adjusting the privacy settings on their devices or browser at any time.

In the coming months, Microsoft will keep the slow roll-out of additional features that will allow users to:

• View and manage media consumption data, as well as product and service activity on the Activity History page
• Export for any of the data you see on the dashboard
• Delete specific items to allow for greater individual control

 

Diagnostic Data Viewer - Yes or No

The Diagnostic Data Viewer is a Windows app that lets you review the diagnostic data your device is sending to Microsoft, grouping the info into simple categories based on how it's used by Microsoft.

Diagnostic Data Viewer needs...

Yes I ran it thus: Enable or Disable Diagnostic Data Viewer in Windows 10
But since I posted I've realised that it wouldn't be of help anyway.
My problem, which I've been attempting to resolve, is that my PC will not update from version 1809 to version 1903.
The last attempt using Windows 10 update Assistant fails with the error: 0xc1420121
Having tried various methods to fix it I finally discovered that my PC is 'to old'. There's a Microsoft list somewhere that lists PCs that have been successfully tested & my model is not among them.
I guess I'm not surprised since it is rather long in the tooth but what's irritating is that it runs extremely well. I spent the last couple of weeks editing videos & creating soundtracks. OK, it's a little slow but it works fine & I'm not in a great hurry.
So, eventually I'll need a new PC since MS will stop supporting version 1809 shortly.
From what I've read, version 1903 is no great shakes anyway, I guess it's mainly security issues that are of concern but Hey Ho, I can't afford to buy a new PC so I'll just stick with what I've got.
Thanks for replying.
