There are registry keys you can edit, see Configure usage and diagnostic data collection for SQL Server (CEIP). Alternatively, there's a thread over on Microsoft's Azure forums that suggests this behavior is caused by some sort of misconfiguration in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\150\Shared\SqlWtsn.exe.config file and either renaming that file to SqlWtsn.exe.config.OLD or editing the contents of the file make fix the issue. I can say that the few times I've encountered this issue, renaming SqlWtsn.exe.config worked for me.
