Windows 10 Creators Update, officially released yesterday and bring new features and performance improvements. Microsoft also says they are coming up with changes that will further ensure the privacy of users.
The cheese:
The most obvious of these changes will be a new Privacy Settings screen that appears when installation of the Creators Update (either through a informations or from a clean installation).
The screen provides several settings για τη συλλογή δεδομένων: location, diagnostics, ads, speech recognition and customized experiences.
By default, all of the above are enabled, as Microsoft believes that these settings "will give you a richer experience of enabling key features of Windows 10 to work more efficiently."
So Microsoft essentially gives us these settings in advance, before installation and lets us choose what we leave enabled and what we do not. You can also click on a new "Learn More" plugin to learn more about what each setting offers.
Faka:
It's worth noting that you can't completely disable them data diagnosis as the company continues to use the “Basic” (basic data collection) and “Full” presets. But according to Microsoft it will cut the amount of data collected on the Basic setting by about half.
Of course, the settings mentioned above are not going to solve all the privacy issues that Windows 10 users have, but they seem to be at least one step. After all, Microsoft promises that even more improvements will come later….

Let's not forget that each company's goal is to promote its product and, of course, its continued improvement, so as not to be left behind in competition.
Microsoft has proven to us many times that the above goal is more important than protecting the consumer's privacy.
Do you tell Windows 10 Creators Update to change the company's goal?
Do not yet install Windows 10 Creators Update
