How to Change Feedback Frequency in 🪟 Windows 11

The Settings app is the simplest way to change this, and it works the same on Windows 11 Home and Pro. You do not need an administrator account for it. Follow these steps to manage your preferences:

1. Click the Start button. The Start menu⊞ opens.
2. Click Settings. The Settings⚙️ window opens. You can also press Win+I to get there faster.
3. Select Privacy & security on the left sidebar. The privacy options appear on the right.
4. Scroll down to the Windows permissions area and click Diagnostics & feedback. A page with diagnostic data and feedback options opens.
5. Scroll to the bottom of the page and locate the Feedback frequency section. On some builds you may need to click the section name to expand it.
6. Use the drop-down menu to select your preferred interval. The choices are Automatically (Recommended), Always, Once a day, Once a week and Never. Choose Never if you want no survey prompts at all. The drop-down now shows your new choice.

Your changes apply immediately without needing a restart. You can close the Settings window when you are done.

To undo the change, go back to the same page and set the drop-down to Automatically (Recommended). If the drop-down is greyed out, or Settings says some options are managed by your organization, the PC is controlled by a work or school policy. In that case, ask your IT administrator to change it.

Advanced Method: Registry Editor

You can change feedback frequency in Windows 11 using the Registry Editor (an advanced tool for changing system settings). Open the Registry Editor by pressing Win+R, typing regedit, and pressing Enter. Go to 🗝️HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Siuf\Rulescopy and change the RegS2Period value to set how often Windows asks for your opinion.

Use this method only if you are comfortable with the registry, since a wrong edit can cause problems. The Settings method above is safer, and the registry is not needed for most people. This is a per-user setting, so it affects only the account you are signed in with.

For a more advanced change, use the Registry Editor. Before you start, back up the registry: in the Registry Editor, click File › Export, choose a location, and save the file. If something goes wrong, double-click that file to restore it. Then follow the steps below. Press Win+R, type regedit, and press Enter to open the Registry Editor. Navigate to:

1. Press Win+R, type regedit, and press Enter. If User Account Control asks whether to allow the app to make changes, click Yes. The Registry Editor opens.
2. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Siuf\Rules. You can paste the path into the address bar at the top of the Registry Editor, or expand the folders in the left pane one by one.
3. If the key does not exist, right-click the Feedback folder and create a new DWORD (32-bit) Value named FB_Frequency. The new value appears in the right pane.
4. Double-click FB_Frequency and set the value to your preference (e.g., 0 for Never, 1 for Automatically). Click OK to save it.
5. Close the Registry Editor. Then open Settings⚙️ › Privacy & security › Diagnostics & feedback and check the Feedback frequency drop-down to see whether it shows your choice. If it does not, set it from Settings as described in the first method.

Summary

Taming feedback requests in Windows 11 helps cut down on screen clutter. Using the Settings menu or the Registry Editor lets you customize how often Microsoft requests your input. For most people, the Settings method is all you need: set Feedback frequency to Never and the prompts stop. This ensures your privacy preferences are met while maintaining the health of your operating system. You can switch back to Automatically (Recommended) at any time.
