The April update of (Windows 10 April Update) φέρνει μια σειρά από νέες δυνατότητες. Ορισμένες από αυτές βελτιώνουν τα υπάρχοντα εργαλεία των Windows 10, ενώ άλλες φέρεται να έρχονται για να καθησυχάσουν μερικές από τις ανησυχίες των χρηστών του λειτουργικού συστήματος.

With the new update, your company allows you to check exactly what it collects from your computer and delete them, 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:

– Privacy – Diagnostics & feedback. Activate the Diagnostic data viewer. Note that this will take about 1GB of storage space.
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 search box to search for specific applications. The function will help you learn what data is sent from your favorite programs.

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.
