Does Windows 10 Creators Update Collect Less Data?

Windows 10 Creators Update, officially released yesterday and bring new features 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 you install Creators (either through an update or from a clean installation).

The screen provides several settings for data collection: location, diagnosis, ads, speech recognition and customized experiences.

From before, all of the above are enabled, as Microsoft believes that these specific settings "will give you a richer experience enabling important Windows 10 features 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 the goal of every company is to promote it and of course its continuous improvement, so as not to fall behind the 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?
