Details:

As was previously announced, the January 2023 non-security preview release for Windows 10, versions 20H2, 21H2 and 22H2, and Windows 11, versions 21H2 and 22H2, introduced a significant change for enterprise Windows devices that have diagnostic data turned on. This change will also be included in the February 2023 security update and all future security updates for these Windows versions.


In support of our plan to store and process EU Data for European enterprise customers in the EU, policies such as the “Allow commercial data pipeline” policy will no longer be used to configure data processor options. Instead, an organization-wide configuration based on Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) will determine Microsoft’s role in the data processing.


We’re making this change to help ensure that diagnostic data for all devices in an organization is processed in a consistent way, and in the same geographic region. We are also making this change for greater efficiency and to help us implement our plan to store and process EU Data for European enterprise customers in the EU. For more details on these changes, see Significant changes coming to the Windows diagnostic data processor configuration.


When will this happen:


The change has been introduced with the January 2023 release preview cumulative update for Windows 10, versions 20H2, 21H2 and 22H2, and Windows 11, versions 21H2 and 22H2. Future security updates for these Windows versions will also include these changes.
