The Windows 10 April Update ( Update) brings a number of new features. Some of them improve the existing tools of Windows 10, while others are said to come to alleviate some of the concerns of operating system users.

Such a one είναι και νέο view the diagnostic data. Windows 10 has come under fire at times for collecting telemetry data and sending it to Microsoft. With the new update, the company gives you the ability to control exactly what it collects from your computer and delete it if you wish.

(This feature only exists in the Windows 10 April 2018 update.)

How to Find Data Collected by Windows 10.

First, you need to enable data viewing. Follow the route:

Settings - Privacy - Diagnostics & feedback. Enable the Diagnostic data viewer. Note that this requires approximately 1GB of storage.
Click the Diagnostic Data Viewer button and you will be taken to the Microsoft Store to download the application “Diagnostic Data Viewer“. Install the application, and launch the application from the menu.Windows 10 April

Inside the app, you will see a lot of diagnostic information. The left side collects the "events" and if you click on any of them it will show you exactly what has been sent to Microsoft.
Use the box για να αναζητήσετε πληροφορίες για συγκεκριμένες εφαρμογές. Η λειτουργία θα σας βοηθήσει να μάθετε τι δεδομένα αποστέλλονται από τα αγαπημένα σας .

The application allows you to make copies for your own use. Clicking the Export button on the left will download your copy in CSV format.
Finally, if you want to delete the diagnostic data from Microsoft servers, click the Delete button on the Settings page.

Do not forget to disable this setting if you do not intend to use the new feature frequently.

Let's say that this particular function is a pleasant addition in terms of transparency but does not prevent the collection telemetry data from the company.
