<!--Description-->
Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting allows users who are connected to the Internet to access and search troubleshooting content that is hosted on Microsoft content servers. Users can access online troubleshooting content from within the Troubleshooting Control Panel UI by clicking "Yes" when they are prompted by a message that states, "Do you want the most up-to-date troubleshooting content?"

If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, users who are connected to the Internet can access and search troubleshooting content that is hosted on Microsoft content servers from within the Troubleshooting Control Panel user interface.

If you disable this policy setting, users can only access and search troubleshooting content that is available locally on their computers, even if they are connected to the Internet. They are prevented from connecting to the Microsoft servers that host the Windows Online Troubleshooting Service.

> This is an ADMX-backed policy and requires a special SyncML format to enable or disable. For details, see [Understanding ADMX-backed policies](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md).
> 
> You must specify the data type in the SyncML as &lt;Format&gt;chr&lt;/Format&gt;. For an example SyncML, refer to [Enabling a policy](./understanding-admx-backed-policies.md#enabling-a-policy).
> 
> The payload of the SyncML must be XML-encoded; for this XML encoding, there are a variety of online encoders that you can use. To avoid encoding the payload, you can use CDATA if your MDM supports it. For more information, see [CDATA Sections](http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-cdata-sect).

<!--Description-->
Available in the latest Windows 10 Insider Preview Build. This policy setting determines whether scripted diagnostics will execute diagnostic packages that are signed by untrusted publishers.

If you enable this policy setting, the scripted diagnostics execution engine validates the signer of any diagnostic package and runs only those signed by trusted publishers.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, the scripted diagnostics execution engine runs all digitally signed packages.
