Windows 10 April Update: View and delete telemetry data

The Windows 10 April Update brings a number of new features. Some of them improve the existing Windows 10 tools, while others are reportedly coming to soothe some of the worries of the operating system users.

Such a one είναι και νέο πρόγραμμα προβολής των διαγνωστικών δεδομένων. Τα Windows 10 έχουν λάβει κατά καιρούς δριμύτατες κριτικές για τη συλλογή δεδομένων τηλεμετρίας και την αποστολή τους στη Microsoft. Με τη νέα ενημερωμένη έκδοση, η εταιρεία σας δίνει τη δυνατότητα να ελέγξετε τι ακριβώς συλλέγει από τον υπολογιστή σας και να τα διαγράψετε, αν το επιθυμείτε.

How to Find Data Collected by Windows 10.

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

Settings – Privacy – & feedback. Ενεργοποιήστε το Diagnostic data viewer. Σημειώστε ότι αυτό χρειαστεί περίπου 1GB χώρο αποθήκευσης.
Click the Diagnostic Data Viewer button and you will be taken to the Microsoft Store to download it s "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 search box to search for specific applications. The function will help you learn what data is sent from your favorite programs.

The app allows you to copies for your own use. A click on 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.
