Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Reliability Analysis Description
This policy setting allows the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) providers Win32_ReliabilityStabilitymetrics and Win32_ReliabilityRecords to provide data to Reliability Monitor in the Security and Maintenance control panel, and to respond to WMI requests. If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, the listed providers will respond to WMI queries, and Reliability Monitor will display system reliability information. If you disable this policy setting, Reliability Monitor will not display system reliability information, and WMI-capable applications will be unable to access reliability information from the listed providers.
