What it does

This policy setting determines whether Windows Error Reporting (WER) checks for a network cost policy that restricts the amount of data that is sent over the network. If you enable this policy setting, WER does not check for network cost policy restrictions, and transmits data even if network cost is restricted. If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, WER does not send data, but will check the network cost policy again if the network profile is changed.

What it writes

Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER

These deployment candidates come from the ADMX template; they are separate from the native CSP mapping above.

The OMA-URI is an inferred ADMX-backed Policy CSP candidate derived from the source ADMX file name and policy name.
Some Microsoft policies use built-in Policy CSP pages whose area names don't match the ADMX file name, so verify the candidate against Microsoft Learn before deployment.
