Windows 10 diagnostic data for the Full telemetry level

Applies to:

• Windows 10, version 1703 and later

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 telemetry 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 and Windows 10, version 1703 Basic level diagnostic events and fields.

The data covered in this article is grouped into the following categories:

• 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

Note

The majority of diagnostic data falls into the first four categories.

Common data

Most diagnostic events contain a header of common data:

Category Name

Examples

Common Data

Information that is added to most diagnostic events, if relevant and available: OS name, version, build, and locale 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 Xbox UserID Environment from which the event was logged -- Application ID of app or component that logged the event, Session GUID. Used to track events over a given period of time such the period an app is running or between boots of the OS. The diagnostic event name, Event ID, ETW opcode, version, schema signature, keywords, and flags HTTP header information, including the IP address. This IP address is the source address that’s provided by the network packet header and received by the diagnostics ingestion service. Various IDs that are used to correlate and sequence related events together. Device ID. This is not the user provided device name, but an ID that is unique for that device. Device class -- Desktop, Server, or Mobile Event collection time Diagnostic level -- Basic or Full, Sample level -- for sampled data, what sample level is this device opted into
