What ist OneSettings Service?

Question

Hi all,

the Windows group policy settings offer two configurations for OneSettings Service:

• Disable OneSettings Downloads
• Enable OneSettings Auditing

Does anyone know what "OneSettings Service" is?

Answer 1

Hello Martin7902

Indeed there is little to none information online regarding the OneSettings service, but my only understanding is that it is a service MS "provides/requires" as of later OS builds that offers to report telemetry data back to MS about OS health, build info, etc. in order to keep the computer "healthy"

Answer 2

Hi LimitlessTechnology,

many thanks for your reply. Do I get that right: The OneSettings “service” is not a service running in Windows (e.g. like IP Helper, Netlogon, …). Instead of that it is a service hosted by Microsoft (in the cloud/internet)?
