Disable Usage Data in PowerBI Desktop

[AniqueNaushad]

Hi,

I want to disable the Send Usage Data option in PowerBI desktop (version 2.103.881.0), but when I pass this parameter "ENABLECXP=0", the usage data option is not getting disabled.

Can someone please tell me, how can I disable this option?

Hi @AniqueNaushad ,

I hope you have saved and closed the Desktop App after making the changes. Also check the below official documentation to get some idea about this.

Hi @AniqueNaushad 

I used the following command and managed to install the latest Power BI Desktop x64-bit 2.103.881.0 version without any problem. You could have a try!

PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe -quiet -norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1 ENABLECXP=0

This is the tutorial I followed. It has detailed steps and a video sample.

If you still have the same problem, can you please provide the command you use and the environment info?

Just wanted to share, as I have been having similar issues without being able to find a fix. It seems adding a REG_ENABLECXP flag does make it work. I suppse this could be dependent on the app version or something else on your system. I simply run both flags and it works. Same command works well for install or update of the application. You can can also just add any other flags you want.

Windows 10, 64-bit Power BI Desktop 2.131.1126.0 (just tested with latest version)

PBIDesktopSetup_x64.exe -quiet -norestart ACCEPT_EULA=1 ENABLECXP=0 REG_ENABLECXP=0
