How to Change Feedback Frequency in Windows 11

Windows 11 constantly monitors system health to ensure everything runs smoothly. Microsoft collects this information through Diagnostic data and Feedback. This process, often called telemetry, helps engineers identify bugs and improve performance. You can manage these settings via the Diagnostic data and Feedback menu. Additionally, features like Tailored experiences use your data to show personalized tips. Understanding these settings helps you balance privacy with system optimization.

Why change feedback frequency?

Pop-up requests can be distracting during work or gaming. By adjusting these settings, you control how often Windows interrupts your workflow. Changing this does not affect your system performance or stability.

What happens when done?

Once you update your settings, Windows will respect your chosen interval for feedback prompts. If you select ‘Never’, the system will stop asking for your input entirely.
