Create a Windows Health Monitoring profile in Microsoft Intune (2024)

Microsoft can collect event data, and provide recommendations to improve performance on your Windows devices. Endpoint Analytics analyzes this data, and can recommend software, help improve startup performance, and fix common support issues.

In Intune, you can create a Windows Health Monitoring device configuration profile to enable this data collection, and then deploy this profile to your devices.

Use this profile as part of your mobile device management (MDM) solution to optimize your Windows devices.

This feature applies to:

• Windows 11 devices enrolled in Intune
• Windows 10 version 1903 and newer devices enrolled in Intune

This article shows you how to create the profile, and enable the monitoring.

Before you begin

• Endpoint Analytics has its own prerequisites. For more information, including enrollment requirements, go to What is Endpoint analytics?.
• If you use co-management, then to use this profile, the Device Configuration workload must be in Intune. For more information on these features, go to What is co-management? and Switch Configuration Manager workloads to Intune.

2. Select Devices > Manage devices > Configuration > Create > New policy.
