# Windows 10 diagnostic data for the Full diagnostic data level
**Applies to:**
- Windows 10, version 1703 and later
- Windows 10, version 1703
Microsoft collects Windows diagnostic data to keep Windows up-to-date, secure, and operating properly. It also helps us improve Windows and, for users who have turned on “tailored experiences”, can be used to provide more relevant tips and recommendations to tailor Microsoft products to the user’s needs. This article describes all types diagnostic data collected by Windows at the Full diagnostic data level (inclusive of data collected at Basic), with comprehensive examples of data we collect per each type. For additional, detailed technical descriptions of Basic data items, see [Windows 10, version 1709 Basic level diagnostic events and fields](basic-level-windows-diagnostic-events-and-fields.md) and [Windows 10, version 1703 Basic level diagnostic events and fields](basic-level-windows-diagnostic-events-and-fields-1703.md).

# Windows 10, version 1709 diagnostic data for the Full level
Applies to:
- Windows 10, version 1709
Microsoft uses Windows diagnostic data to keep Windows secure and up-to-date, troubleshoot problems, and make product improvements. For users who have turned on "Tailored experiences", it can also be used to offer you personalized tips, ads, and recommendations to enhance Microsoft products and services for your needs. This article describes all types of diagnostic data collected by Windows at the Full level (inclusive of data collected at Basic), with comprehensive examples of data we collect per each type. For additional, detailed technical descriptions of Basic data items, see [Windows 10, version 1709 Basic level diagnostic events and fields](basic-level-windows-diagnostic-events-and-fields.md).
In addition, this article provides references to equivalent definitions for the data types and examples from [ISO/IEC 19944:2017 Information technology -- Cloud computing -- Cloud services and devices: Data flow, data categories and data use](https://www.iso.org/standard/66674.html). Each data type also has a Data Use statement, for diagnostics and for Tailored experiences on the device, using the terms as defined by the standard. These Data Use statements define the purposes for which Microsoft processes each type of Windows diagnostic data, using a uniform set of definitions referenced at the end of this document and based on the ISO standard. Reference to the ISO standard provides additional clarity about the information collected, and allows easy comparison with other services or guidance that also references the standard.
The data covered in this article is grouped into the following types:
- Common data (diagnostic header information)
- Device, Connectivity, and Configuration data
- Product and Service Usage data
- Product and Service Performance data
- Software Setup and Inventory data
- Browsing History data
- Inking, Typing, and Speech Utterance data
## Common data
Most diagnostic events contain a header of common data. In each example, the info in parentheses provides the equivalent definition for ISO/IEC 19944:2017.
**Data Use for Common data**
Header data supports the use of data associated with all diagnostic events. Therefore, Common data is used to [provide](#provide) Windows 10, and may be used to [improve](#improve), [personalize](#personalize), [recommend](#recommend), [offer](#offer), or [promote](#promote) Microsoft and third-party products and services, depending on the uses described in the **Data Use** statements for each data category.
### Data Description for Common data type
|Sub-type|Description and examples|
|- |- |
|Common Data|Information that is added to most diagnostic events, if relevant and available:<ul><li>Diagnostic level -- Basic or Full, Sample level -- for sampled data, what sample level is this device opted into (8.2.3.2.4 Observed Usage of the Service Capability)</li><li>Operating system name, version, build, and locale (8.2.3.2.2 Telemetry data)</li><li>Event collection time (8.2.3.2.2 Telemetry data)</li><li>User ID -- a unique identifier associated with the user's Microsoft Account (if one is used) or local account. The user's Microsoft Account identifier is not collected from devices configured to send Basic diagnostic data (8.2.5 Account data)</li><li>Xbox UserID (8.2.5 Account data)</li><li>Device ID -- This is not the user provided device name, but an ID that is unique for that device. (8.2.3.2.3 Connectivity data)</li><li>Device class -- Desktop, Server, or Mobile (8.2.3.2.3 Connectivity data)</li><li>Environment from which the event was logged -- Application ID of app or component that logged the event, Session GUID.
