For details see [https://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#13551](https://gpsearch.azurewebsites.net/#13551). 4. Confirm that devices are opted in to send diagnostic data by checking in the registry that **AllowTelemetry** is set to either 2 (Enhanced) or 3 (Full). - - **AllowTelemetry** under **HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection** is the location set by Group Policy or MDM - - **AllowTelemetry** under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection** is the location set by local tools such as the Settings app. - - By convention the Group Policy location would take precedence if both are set. Starting with Windows 10, version 1803, the default precedence is modified to enable a device user to lower the diagnostic data level from that set by IT. For organizations which have no requirement to allow the user to override IT, the conventional (IT wins) behavior can be re-enabled using **DisableTelemetryOptInSettingsUx**. This policy can be set via Group Policy as **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds\Configure telemetry opt-in setting user interface**. + - **AllowTelemetry** under **HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection** is the IT policy path. + - **AllowTelemetry** under **HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection** is the user preference (Settings app) path. + - IMPORTANT: By convention (and in earlier versions of Windows 10) the IT policy would take precedence over any user preference. Starting with Windows 10, version 1803, the user can lower the device's effective value even when an IT policy is set. This change assists organizations in complying with regional or organizational expectations about user control over privacy settings. For organizations where user control of privacy settings is not required, the previous behavior (IT policy path always wins) can be enabled using the new policy **Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection and Preview Builds\Configure telemetry opt-in setting user interface**. 5. Verify that devices can reach the endpoints specified in [Enrolling devices in Windows Analytics](windows-analytics-get-started.md). Also check settings for SSL inspection and proxy authentication; see [Configuring endpoint access with SSL inspection](https://docs.microsoft.com/windows/deployment/update/windows-analytics-get-started#configuring-endpoint-access-with-ssl-inspection) for more information. 6. Wait 48 hours for activity to appear in the reports. 7. If you need additional troubleshooting, contact Microsoft Support.
