Feedback_Hub_banner.png

This tutorial will show you how to change the feedback frequency for your account or all users in Windows 11.

Windows will occasionally display a message asking you to rate or provide written feedback about the product or services you use. You can use the Feedback frequency setting to adjust how often Microsoft asks you for this feedback.

Reference:


If you have a Windows Insider build installed, then you will not be able to change the Feedback frequency since it will be managed by Windows Insider Program.
