It’s scary! Windows 10 can collect so much personal privacy
There are many controversies about Windows 10, one of which is the "invasion" of privacy, because Microsoft insists on collecting various user data involving privacy, and is unwilling to disclose details, nor does it allow users to completely turn it off. Now with the official release of the Creators Update, Microsoft has finally frankly explained the various user data collected by Windows 10, with the purpose of reassuring the majority of users on the one hand, and meeting the requirements of the European Union and other institutions on the other hand. The following is the various data that Windows 10 obtains on your computer: - General data (diagnostic header information) - Device, connectivity, configuration data - Product and service usage data - Product and service performance data - Software installation and saving data - Content consumption data - Browsing, search, query data - Handwriting, input, voice data - Authorization and purchase data A more detailed list and explanation can be seen here, a very long list, quite scary. This is also the first time that Microsoft has fully disclosed the user data collected by Windows 10. Microsoft promises that when configured at the basic level, Windows 10 will try to minimize the amount of user information collected, especially in the Creators Update. Windows 10 not only adds more privacy control options, but also greatly reduces the number of events and data volume submitted to users.
