Windows 10 activity history and your privacy

If you want to monitor your users activity you should not look at "activity history", instead you should implement sysmon. You can configure sysmon.exe, applocker policies and windows event logging to log everything you can imagine happening on a machine, and then forward the logs to a central logging server. There you can analyze the logs with any tools that allow event log analysis (or, if you have the time, you could just use eventvwr.exe).

Everything you need for this is either builtin or free:

Sysmon: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon

Event Collector: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wec/windows-event-collector?redirectedfrom=MSDN

Applocker: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/windows-defender-application-control/applocker/applocker-overview

Please be careful to do this in a accordance to your data privacy laws!
