How to exit Windows 10 Customer experience.

Hi chasw98,

I’m Mario an Independent Advisor. I’ll try to help you with this problem.

I reviewed your explanation and I suggest you use the Local Group Policy Editor to turn off the Customer Experience Improvement program on your computer. Please, could you review the next step:

• In the Search area (left - below)
• Type gpedit.msc and click OK to open the Local Group Policy Editor.
• Expand Computer Configuration
• Expand Administrative Templates
• Expand System
• Expand Internet Communication Management
• In Internet Communication settings on the right side,
• Double-click the Turn off Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program policy.
• On the top-left, select the Enabled option to disable the policy.
• Click Apply.
• Click OK.
• Close the Group Policy editor.

Restart your computer to complete the task.

Also, you can find and review the next link that explains this theme with SQL Server tools:

I hope to help you. Please, tell me the results.

Mario,

thanks for your support.

It looks like the Dec update fixed the problem, so I will hold off following your procedure.

As for the the "new" Windows Edge running  multiple versions (7-9 versions) that is on other post.

Hi chasw98,

I comment to you that CIEP is a feature that is enabled by default in some Windows 10 preinstalled, for collects and sends system information to Microsoft. The information that the feature collects includes hardware configuration and how you use the operating system and other products, helping the company improve the quality of future releases.

By the above, and the image that you sent me, the option is Not Configured, but could be in execution, marking Enabled is activated the Turn Off function.

Now, depending on the Windows version (Home by example) should be necessary to modify some other options to disable this feature, that explain in the next steps:

A) Use the registry editor,

• In Search area, Type regedit
• Click OK to open the registry.
• Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
• Expand SOFTWARE
• Expand Policies
• Expand Microsoft

• Right-click, select New and click Key.

-Select the newly created key, right-click on the right side, select New, and click DWORD Value (32-bit).

• Name the DWORD as CEIPEnable and press Enter.
• Double click on the newly created DWORD and make sure its value is set to 0.
• Click OK.

2. Still in Registry, in the Microsoft folder Expand Windows (below Microsoft folder)

Verify the "Cloud Content" folder appear, else continue in Note)

• Click on folder "Cloud Content", search on the right-side the word "DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures"

• In the window opens, click on it
• Search and expand "Application Control Policies"
