Just like disabling Microsoft Telemetry, the Google Chrome Software Reporter Tool can become a pain. Let's turn it off.
In my other article about adding GPO ADMX files to control Chrome, I explain how to add the ADMX files to the GPO to control CHROME so I won't go through that again.
- -new GPO.
- -name: c-chrome-cleanup-disabled
- -settings: COMPUTER-CONFIGURATION > POLICIES > ADMINISTRATIVE-TEMPLATES > GOOGLE > GOOGLE-CHROME
- -select CONTROL-HOW-CHROME-CLEANUP-REPORTS-DATA-TO-GOOGLE
- -set: DISABLED
- -select ENABLE-CHROME-CLEANUP-ON-WINDOWS
- -set: DISABLED
Save the GPO but don't forget to turn off User-Configuration: DETAILS > USER-CONFIGURATION-SETTINGS-DISABLED.
Apply GPO where needed.
