Use Windows Health Monitoring profile on Windows devices in Microsoft Intune
Microsoft can collect event data, and provide recommendations to improve performance on your Windows devices. Endpoint Analytics analyzes this data, and can recommend software, help improve startup performance, and fix common support issues.
In Intune, you can create a Windows Health Monitoring device configuration profile to enable this data collection, and then deploy this profile to your devices.
Use this profile as part of your mobile device management (MDM) solution to optimize your Windows devices.
This feature applies to:
- Windows 11 devices enrolled in Intune
- Windows 10 version 1903 and newer devices enrolled in Intune
This article shows you how to create the profile, and enable the monitoring.
Before you begin
- Endpoint Analytics has its own prerequisites. For more information, including enrollment requirements, go to What is Endpoint analytics?.
- If you use co-management, then to use this profile, the Device Configuration workload must be in Intune. For more information on these features, go to What is co-management? and Switch Configuration Manager workloads to Intune.
Create the profile
Sign in to the Microsoft Intune admin center.
Select Devices > Manage devices > Configuration > Create > New policy.
Enter the following properties:
- Platform: Select Windows 10 and later.
- Profile type: Select Templates > Windows health monitoring.
Note
If you don't see Windows health monitoring in the list, then:
- Go to Reports > Endpoint Analytics > Settings.
- Select Intune data collection policy.
Select Create.
In Basics, enter the following properties:
- Name: Enter a descriptive name for the profile. Name your policies so you can easily identify them later. For example, a good profile name is Windows devices: Windows Health Monitoring profile.

In Assignments, select the devices or device groups that will receive your profile. For more information on assigning profiles, go to Assign user and device profiles.
Select Next.
In Applicability Rules, use the Rule, Property, and Value options to define how this profile applies within assigned groups. Intune applies the profile to devices that meet the rules you enter. For more information about applicability rules, go to Applicability rules.
Select Next.
In Review + create, review your settings. When you select Create, your changes are saved, and the profile is assigned. The policy is also shown in the profiles list.
