What the viewer shows
Diagnostic Data Viewer displays diagnostic data available from your device in real time while the viewer is running. It is not a history browser, so it does not show a record of previously available diagnostic data.

The View diagnostic data control is separate from the choice of how much diagnostic data Windows sends. Microsoft describes required diagnostic data as the minimum needed to help keep Windows reliable, secure, and operating normally. Optional diagnostic data includes additional details. Microsoft says Windows remains secure and operates normally when a device sends only required diagnostic data. Microsoft explains the distinction between required and optional diagnostic data.

If the setting is missing or unavailable
On a work- or organization-managed device, policy may control diagnostic settings. Microsoft says an unavailable option may appear with a notice that some settings are hidden or managed by the organization. If that is what you see, contact your organization’s IT administrator rather than trying to change the policy yourself. Microsoft describes managed diagnostic settings.

The same Diagnostics & feedback page has a Delete diagnostic data control. Microsoft says deleting diagnostic data from the device does not delete diagnostic data associated with a Microsoft account, and it does not stop diagnostic data from being sent to Microsoft. See Microsoft’s guidance on deleting diagnostic data.
