Microsoft has recently started making available as critical two different updates for the Windows 7 και 8.1 που συλλέγουν data telemetry.
From a technical point of view, both KB2952664 As well as the KB2976978, for systems running Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 respectively, were available for download, but as optional updates. But both updates from optional have been marked as critical by the company, meaning they will be installed on all devices via the Windows Update.
Similarly, Windows 7 and 8.1 acquire Microsoft telemetry services.
Microsoft states that both updates are "compatibility updates for Windows Update", explaining in a brief description that their purpose is to help collect some diagnostic data.
This update performs diagnostic tests on Windows systems that participate in the Windows Experience Improvement Program. Diagnostics assesses the compatibility status of the Windows ecosystem and helps Microsoft ensure application compatibility for all Windows updates.
The strange thing is that telemetry services are enabled on all computers, and not only to those who have subscribed to program Microsoft Windows Improvement Experience. Thus telemetry data is collected from all systems.
Let's say that according to the company, the telemetry data that is sent includes application errors and operating system information. Data can help the company improve Windows experience without collecting personal data.
