In this post, we will guide you in the creation of the Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy. We are using Intune’s Settings Catalog to enforce this policy. Configuration Profiles of Intune will be used in implementing this task.
Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy inhibits devices from displaying feedback prompts from Microsoft. Enabling this policy ensures that users won’t receive feedback notifications via the Feedback Hub app. Conversely, if you choose to disable or leave this policy unconfigured, users might encounter notifications through the Feedback Hub app, prompting them for feedback.
In the absence of Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy or when it is disabled, users retain the ability to manage the frequency of feedback questions they receive.
This policy serves to block the presentation of feedback inquiries from Microsoft on devices. Once activated, users will no longer be prompted with feedback notifications through the Feedback Hub app.
In contrast, if the policy setting is disabled or remains unconfigured, users may encounter notifications via the Feedback Hub app, seeking their input and feedback.
Windows CSP Details DoNotShowFeedbackNotifications
We will see Windows CSP Details for this Policy setting DoNotShowFeedbackNotifications. In the absence of the enabled policy setting, users retain control over the frequency with which they receive feedback questions. This means that, without the policy in effect, users have the autonomy to manage and customize how often they are prompted for feedback through the Feedback Hub app.
The policy thus provides a mechanism for administrators to control the feedback interaction experience on devices according to organizational preferences.

Create Intune Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy
To create a Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy, follow the steps stated below:
- Sign in to the Intune Admin Center portal https://intune.microsoft.com/.
- Select Devices > Windows > Configuration profiles > Create a profile.
In Create Profile, I select Windows 10 and later in Platform and select Profile Type as Settings catalog. Click on the Create button.
On the Basics tab pane, I provide a name for the policy as “Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy.”
- Optionally, if you want, you can enter a policy description and proceed by selecting “Next“.
Now in Configuration Settings, Click Add Settings to browse or search the catalog for the settings I want to configure.
In the Settings Picker windows. I searched for the keyword Feedback. I found the category Experience and selected this.
- When I select that option as stated above, I see the sub-category Do Not Show Feedback Notifications. After selecting that, click the cross mark at the right-hand corner, as shown below.
Here in Experience, we have two options for Do Not Show Feedback Notifications which are as follows:
- Feedback notifications are not disabled. The actual state of feedback notifications on the device will then depend on what GP has configured or what the user has configured locally.
- Feedback notifications are disabled.
I have selected the second option, as shown below in the image.
Using Scope tags, you can assign a tag to filter the profile to specific IT groups. One can add scope tags (if required). More details on Intune Scope Tags Implementation Guide.
- Click Next to continue.
Now in Assignments, in Included Groups, you need to click on Add Groups and choose Select Groups to include one or more groups. Click Next to continue.
In the Review + Create tab, I review settings. After clicking on Create, changes are saved, and the profile is assigned.
After successfully creating the “Microsoft Feedback Notifications Policy,” a notification will appear in the top right-hand corner confirming the action. You can also verify the policy’s existence by navigating to the Configuration Profiles list, where it will be prominently displayed.
Your groups will receive your profile settings when the devices check in with the Intune service. The Policy applies to the device.
