This policy setting controls whether OneNote sends client information to support services on failure. Sending client information to support services on failure can help diagnose the issue, provide resolution steps, or show contextual error messaging to the user. If you enable this policy setting, OneNote won’t send client information to support services on failure. If you disable or don’t configure this policy setting, OneNote will send client information to support services on failure. Note: This policy setting only applies to Version 2207 and later of OneNote.
