While the privacy concerns of Windows 10 continue, it appears that Microsoft is considering ways to collect less data from owners of the new operating system. This seems to come true from the most recent build 10568, which leaked yesterday.
Ως user του Twitter @gus33000 κατάφερε να εντοπίσει, ότι κάνετε λήψη κάποιων files και το Windows Defender is enabled on your system (this means you haven't disabled the service and haven't installed any third-party apps), the operating system will ask for your permission to send information to Microsoft when scanning the downloaded file.

Previously, if the application identified malicious software, it was automatically sent to Microsoft without requesting permission from the end user.
Να αναφέρουμε ότι υπάρχουν ήδη επιλογές για να απενεργοποιήσετε την αυτόματη υποβολή δειγμάτων του Windows Defender στην company (ελέγξτε στις Ρυθμίσεις), αλλά είναι η πρώτη φορά που η εφαρμογή εμφανίζει τέτοιες προτροπές και δίνει στους χρήστες μεγαλύτερο έλεγχο στα αρχεία τους.
Terry Myerson, head of the Microsoft Windows department, explained at the end of September that Windows 10 did indeed send some information to the company, but claimed none of these items were personal. (probably the neighbor)
“We collect a limited amount of information to help us provide a safe and reliable experience. Updates to the business OS later this year will allow enterprise customers the option to turn off telemetrys, but we strongly recommend that you do not,”
said Myerson.
At present, Microsoft is still making tweaking of the Windows 10 privacy settings.
Perhaps if voices of disaffected users are more likely to hear the coming builds collect less data.
The first taste, however, will be taken in November when the next major update of the new operating system is released.
