A long time ago, we had mentioned that all Windows 10 users are insiders, i.e. they are testing it Microsoft with their personal computer, regardless of whether it is a work computer.
Telemetry services in Windows 10 have long been a very controversial topic, with many accusing Microsoft of spying on its users by collecting too much information from devices running it. operating system.
Microsoft, on the other hand, says it has improved telemetry in Windows 10. But the data collection process still worries some, who continue to push the company for less monitoring.
Recently, the Bayerischen Landesamts für Datenschutzausficht, a German agency that regulates data protection in the country, found that disabling telemetry entirely in Windows 10 is something that can be done by version 1909, but only on the Enterprise and Education editions of the operating system.
Laboratory tests conducted by the German service found that all telemetry services could be blocked, blocking Windows 10 from communicating with Microsoft to send information.
The analysis, which is available in German here (PDF), explains that not all telemetry services in Windows 10 Pro can be turned off (Windows 10 Home and Pro have two different levels of telemetry, Basic and Full, but cannot be turned off completely).
What do the above mean?
Microsoft cares about businesses and generally everyone who pays for Windows 10 licenses (Enterprise and Education).
The Home and Pro versions that started and continue to be distributed for free to all those who had legal licenses for an older operating system of the company (Windows 7, 8) were unfortunately unlucky.
One has to try Microsoft software before making it available to its serious customers.
The unlucky ones are all those who bought a Windows 10 Home or Pro license from the company, and they are among the lucky ones to be the first to receive the updates before they are released for the Enterprise and Education editions.
