Sending System Data and Usage Statistics to VMware

You can use the Workstation Pro feedback preference setting to control whether you participate in or opt out of the VMware User Experience Improvement Program.

To configure the feedback preference setting, select Edit > Preferences > Feedback. The Help improve VMware Workstation setting controls whether you participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program.

When you participate in the VMware User Experience Improvement Program, Workstation Pro collects and sends anonymous system data and usage statistics to VMware. Workstation Pro creates log files for the collected data and stores the data on the host system.
