A brief information for administrators in enterprise environments. How to monitor the crash history of a large number of devices running Windows 10? Microsoft has an answer: Windows Analytics.
I came across this information via Twitter reading a post in Microsoft’s Windows IT Pro channel.

The keyword here is Device Healt (i.e. the device reliability), which can be displayed and evaluated with Windows Analytics. Device Health offers the following benefits:
- Identification of devices that frequently crash and may therefore need to be rebuilt or replaced.
- Identify device drivers that cause device crashes, with suggestions for alternative versions of these drivers that could reduce the number of crashes.
- Notification of Windows Information Protection misconfigurations that send notifications to end users.
Details may be found on the relevant Microsoft pages.
