diagnostic data to provide tailored experiences to the user.

If you enable this policy setting, Windows will not use diagnostic data from this device (this data
may include browser, app and feature usage, depending on the 'diagnostic data' setting value) to
customize content shown on lock screen, Windows tips, Microsoft consumer features and other related
features. If these features are enabled, users will still see recommendations, tips and offers, but
they may be less relevant.

If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, Microsoft will use diagnostic data to provide
personalized recommendations, tips and offers to tailor Windows for the user's needs, and make it
work better for them.

Note: this setting does not control Cortana tailored experiences, since there are separate policies
to configure it.
