How to Change Feedback Frequency in Windows 11
Feedback frequency in Windows 11 controls how often Microsoft asks you to fill out surveys about the operating system. By default, the system sets this schedule to “Automatically,” which triggers pop-up prompts several times a year.
You can turn off these annoying survey windows completely by changing the schedule to “Never” inside the Privacy & security menu. Stopping these alerts keeps your screen clear so you can work or play without sudden interruptions.
Go to Settings Privacy & security Diagnostics & feedback Under “Feedback frequency,” use the dropdown menu to select “Never” or a less frequent interval. This adjusts how often Windows 11 prompts you for feedback.
Feedback Frequency Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Automatically | Microsoft decides when to ask based on usage. |
| Always | Frequent prompts for input. |
| Once a day | Limited to one request per 24 hours. |
| Once a week | Limited to one request per 7 days. |
| Never | Disables all feedback prompts. |
