Diagnostics tracking service что за служба windows 7

*last updated 24OCT2016
Well it’s official. The Diagnostics Tracking Service is now a permanent part Windows 7.
Microsoft first introduced DiagTrack with KB3022345. Then they tried to sneak it back in with KB3068708 and again with KB3080149.
With these patches you could install or uninstall them and everything else was fine.
Now it is back with KB3192403 – October 2016 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.
As the name suggests, this update is a preview of what is to come and is an optional update. It will become a standard update next month.
So, if you are a responsible and intelligent Windows user who keeps your system patched you are stuck with DiagTrack being installed. Since as Mary Jo put it, “Each monthly rollup will supersede the previous month’s rollup. The ultimate goal is for these monthly rollups to become fully cumulative, which will happen as the team adds patches released in the past, so users need only to install the latest single rollup.”
Now you must disable it via services.msc or in the registry.
Aren’t update rollups awesome! Welcome to the new Microsoft, “Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.”

I’m not sure what the confusion is but apparently I did not make myself clear above…
DISABLE this via the Services snap-in (services.msc) or manually via the registry. I provided the key above.

Being troubled by DiagTrack? No issues! We got you covered with all the things you need to know.

You know well, Windows being windows is ‘ the most ‘ annoying thing one can go through while usage. However, even us being technicians, know how to deal with them. Today we will discuss a service called DiagTrack, which for some users, turns out to be annoying, whereas, for some, it is advantageous. We will look into the detailed matter today! So, hop along!

About DiagTrack

So basically, every device, be it a Windows, mac, android, etc., has a tool that periodically sends the system data to their host servers. Thus, DiagTrack is a tool by Microsoft that is responsible for this work. It is a part of the Univeral Telemetry Client.

Now, the Windows DiagTrack is very useful in ensuring your security and reliability from the data collected by Microsoft. The service works on the file named diagtrack.dll, which is a dynamic link library file. You can find this file on the following path: %SystemRoot%\System32\svchost.exe.

Under the registry editor, you can find it on this path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DiagTrack.

Is it safe? Is it a virus?

Now there is no clear answer whether Microsoft uses this tool to spy on your data. However, it has been stated that the data they collect is not shared with anyone and is not linked to anyone. They keep this data stored in case of crashes and other errors to reconstruct them back.

It collects data like what movies you watch, what songs you listened to, your browsing data, PC Specs, usage timings, disk space, contact windows licenses, etc. You can view the data that is being collected by going to this link: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy.

There is nothing to worry about in the case of your data. All the operating systems have these tools to store your data for any further problems to arise. Furthermore, it is located in the system 32 folder, which does not grant access to exercise control over other applications and programs. Thus it is fully safe!

Many people think that DiagTrack is a virus or malware and tend to remove it as soon as possible. Not everything running in the background and consuming your CPU resources is a virus. It has a VeriSign that assures that trusted developers, i.e., Microsoft develop it.

Now there are possibilities that there may be some corrupt file pretending to be DiagTrack. To prevent them from invading your device, regularly scan your files with the use of your antivirus. But by default, it is not any virus and is completely safe for your system.

Does your system need it?

Now, this may be a double-answer question.

If you decide to uninstall it, you may see a mild boost in performance. Also, many people don’t like it when Microsoft is storing their data and thus decide to uninstall the service. However, many users have reported many issues regarding their usage after uninstalling this program, and few issues were easily resolved. Thus, it is suggested not to uninstall the process as it does not harm you and your device.
