Disable Customer Experience Improvement Program
Overview
This category contains privacy scripts for Windows.
These changes use Windows system commands to update your settings.
This script disables the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP).
CEIP collects user interaction data with Windows 1. This includes hardware configurations (e.g., processor count, screen resolution), system performance, reliability metrics, and user behaviors like folder creation on the desktop 1. It also tracks usage of features such as the Event Viewer and Remote Assistance 1.
Collected data is used by Microsoft to identify software trends and user patterns 1.
This data is stored on Microsoft-controlled servers 1.
CEIP-related events are logged in the "Event Viewer" under Windows Logs\Application 1.
Storing this data on your computer can expose sensitive personal information to unauthorized third-parties.
By default, CEIP is disabled in Windows 1. If enabled, it periodically collects and sends data to Microsoft 1.
Disabling CEIP enhances privacy by protecting data that reveals details about your system and personal behaviors. This also speeds up your computer by reducing background activities such as network and hardware usage. It is recommended by security frameworks like the CIS (Center for Internet Security) to protect your security 2.
