Does Windows 10 Creators Update Collect Less Data?

Windows 10 Creators Update, officially released yesterday and they bring news and performance improvements. THE it also mentions that they are coming with changes that will further ensure the privacy of users.Windows 10 Creators Update

The cheese:

The most obvious of these changes will be a new Privacy Settings screen that appears when installing the Creators Update (either through a s or from a clean installation).

The screen provides several για τη συλλογή δεδομένων: τοποθεσία, διάγνωση, διαφημίσεις, αναγνώριση ομιλίας και προσαρμοσμένες .

By default, all of the above are enabled, as Microsoft believes that these settings “will give you a richer experience enabling important features of to work more efficiently.”Windows 10 Creators Update

So Microsoft essentially gives us these settings in advance, before installation and lets us choose what we leave enabled and what we do not. You can also click on a new "Learn More" plugin to learn more about what each setting offers.

Faka:

It is worth noting that you can not completely disable the diagnostic data as the company continues to use the ready settings "Basic" (basic data collection) and 'Complete. " But according to Microsoft it will reduce the amount of data collected in the Basic setting by about half.

Of course, the settings mentioned above are not going to solve all the privacy issues that Windows 10 users have, but they seem to be at least one step. After all, Microsoft promises that even more improvements will come later….

Let's not forget that each company's goal is to promote its product and, of course, its continued improvement, so as not to be left behind in competition.
Microsoft has proven to us many times that the above goal is more important than protecting the consumer's privacy.

Do you tell Windows 10 Creators Update to change the company's goal?
