Windows – Diagnostics and usage data option disabled

windows 10

I am running Win10x64 Home. (So no gpedit.msc)

I have previously used http://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 to change some Windows 10 settings, but have now reverted all changes it made. It gives me this message, with the "Send your device data to Microsoft" option disabled:

The Error

I would like to enable the option in order to give feedback.

I have searched for a long time, and can't seem to find a solution. I have made some changes in the resistry, seems to make no difference. I have also checked I am using Windows Default Settings when It comes to privacy.

Thanks for any help!

O&O Software sent me a solution, it's very simple:

Jump into regedit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection

Delete the binary key "AllowTelemetry" (Right Side)

Fixes it :-)
