./Device/Vendor/MSFT/Policy/Config/Troubleshooting/AllowRecommendations

This policy setting configures how troubleshooting for known problems can be applied on the device and lets administrators configure how it's applied to their domains/IT environments.

Not configuring this policy setting will allow the user to configure how troubleshooting is applied.

Enabling this policy allows you to configure how troubleshooting is applied on the user's device. You can select from one of the following values:

0 = Don't allow users, system features, or Microsoft to apply troubleshooting.

1 = Only automatically apply troubleshooting for critical problems by system features and Microsoft.

2 = Automatically apply troubleshooting for critical problems by system features and Microsoft. Notify users when troubleshooting for other problems is available and allow users to choose to apply or ignore.

3 = Automatically apply troubleshooting for critical and other problems by system features and Microsoft. Notify users when troubleshooting has solved a problem.

4 = Automatically apply troubleshooting for critical and other problems by system features and Microsoft. Don't notify users when troubleshooting has solved a problem.

5 = Allow the user to choose their own troubleshooting settings.

After setting this policy, you can use the following instructions to check devices in your domain for available troubleshooting from Microsoft:

  1. Create a bat script with the following contents:
