Microsoft released the first major information of the operating system Windows 10 this month with much needed new features and improvements.
Those of you who installed the update may have noticed that the company has reinstated all the default settings and applications even if you have not installed them.
Of course, the fact of not telling you something, but those who care about the privacy issue will probably be disappointed as the company does not seem to change its practice.
1511 version of Windows 10 brings another one with another change that can be confusing at first.
The Diagnostics Tracking Service is a basic monitoring system for the operating system that controls data collection.
In the past (in the earlier version of Windows 10), there was an option to disable the service using the Services console and allow you to prevent data collection.
If you check the Services window or in Greek "Services" at the moment (those who have done the upgrade) you will notice that the diagnostic monitoring service does not exist!
If there are "romantics" who believe that Microsoft listened to thecalls community for more privacy protection for its users, will be disappointed.
Microsoft quite simply renamed the service Connected User Experiences and Telemetry.
We can not know why Microsoft changed the name of the service, and maybe an explanation would be to make it clear what it does on your computer. But since there is no formal information, the company's incentive to change is unclear.
This of course means that you must disable the service after the Windows 10 Build 1511 update.
How;
To disable the new service, do the following:
In the Windows 10 search, type services.msc and open the gear icon that will appear.
Locate service Connected User Experiences and Telemetry (services are sorted alphabetically).
Double-click on the service.
Select Stop.
Change the startup service type to disabled.
As seen with new Windows it is necessary to check all your settings regularly. Not only in the area of services, but also all privacy settings contained in application Settings. As you noticed with the post above, group policy changes happen instantly and without any warning.
