When you opt into telemetry, Accessibility Insights collects telemetry data, which we share back to the community, to have a better understanding on what accessibility issues are more common and how users are leveraging the tool to improve the overall accessibility of their websites and Windows applications.
By opting into telemetry, you help develop inclusive software and improve the existing tools. This data gives you a voice in the community and in the development of Accessibility Insights, and can influence the focus of the accessibility tools and the standards community to improve guidelines, rules engines, and features.
Accessibility Insights will share, via a blog post, regular reports on any trends observed, with the goal of bringing more clarity to the accessibility space for everyone.
While we appreciate the telemetry insight as it's very valuable, we also know and respect that not everyone wants to share this data, so we ask for your permission every time you install our tools in a new device and offer the ability to disable telemetry in the settings:
By opting into telemetry, you help the community develop inclusive software. We collect anonymized data to identify the top accessibility issues found by users. This will help focus the accessibility tools and standards community to improve guidelines, rules engines, and features.
This project collects usage data and sends it to Microsoft to help improve our products and services. Read our privacy statement to learn more.

How Telemetry is configured
The Telemetry can be opted-in/opted-out in the application settings:
Changing the value it does not perform registry changes. It is configured in the following JSON file:
C:\Users\Administrador\AppData\Local\AccessibilityInsights\V1\Configurations\Configuration.json
This is the JSON property and value (true or false):
"EnableTelemetry": false
Here I attach the full JSON file content if you want to test without installing the Accessibility Insights application:
💾 Configuration.json
Code
A code that finds and manipulates the JSON file to disable Telemetry (i.e., set the value for
EnableTelemetry
