Windows 10 Activity History: The privacy control panel on its website Microsoft lists your recent activity, such as pages you've visited or apps you've used, even if Activity History is turned off in Windows 10.
Recent versions of Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system have a feature called Activity History that tracks what you do on device, so they can create benchmarks.
Activity History triggers the Timeline function of your operating system. Currently, only a few applications, such as Microsoft Edge or Office, support this feature, and the main idea is to display history to users.
Activity History comes with three basic options in application Settings:
Save my activity history to this device.
Send my business history to Microsoft.
Show activity for specific accounts.
The first monitors the activity on the device, the second sends it to Microsoft.
However, even if you disable all three options in Settings, your activity may be in the Microsoft Dashboard Privacy Dashboard at account.microsoft.com.
A Reddit user noticed the fact and posted a question on the matter. THE connection it was done with a local Microsoft account and was only used for the Store.
The user of Reddit he noticed that even with the activity history turned off, his activities were appearing on his Microsoft account's privacy checklist.
I verified it on a Windows 10 device. With Activity History disabled in the Settings app, Microsoft Privacy Dashboard continues to show my activity on the device.
You can verify this by yourself by opening the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard and choosing it History of activities when loaded.
