Windows 10: Monitor you even if you disable everything

In previous articles, we mentioned the privacy concerns of users of the new Windows 10 operating system, and we proposed solutions to disable several controversial features, such as Wi-Fi Sense. Meanwhile, the Internet has filled out Windows feature disabling applications that help Microsoft collect data.

Unfortunately, all these apps and alternatives do not really help, as Microsoft continues to monitor you even after these features have been disabled.Windows 10 Spying

Let's see how showing Cortana and Bing searches.

The features of Windows 10 Cortana and Bing continue to communicate with Microsoft servers and send data even when you have them turned off!

A technique done by Ars showed that even if you change all of Microsoft's settings to protect your personal privacy data, it appears that Windows 10 is still communicating with the company's servers by constantly sending information.

Even if Cortana and the στο Web από το μενού Έναρξης είναι απενεργοποιημένα, η επικοινωνία με το www.bing.com γίνεται ακόμα για ένα αρχείο που ονομάζεται threshold.appcache και αποστέλλει πληροφορίες του Cortana, κάθε φορά που ένας χρήστης ανοίγει το μενού Έναρξης και αρχίζει να πληκτρολογεί.

The operating system's voice assistant Cortana sends the information that identifies her of the user's computer and still does so on every reboot. This allows Microsoft to distinguish Cortana requests from different computers.

The worrying thing is that Cortana Digital Assistant sends this data even if it's off.

An additional rather worrying finding of Ars' technical research is that Microsoft continues to send data to its servers through the Live tiles of the Start menu.

Even if you remove all tiles, Windows 10 will reinstall them from Microsoft.

Let's also say that Windows 10 handles your personal information unencrypted HTTP, εκθέτοντας προφανώς σε κίνδυνο τους χρήστες από κακόβουλους παράγοντες που θα μπορούσαν να παρέμβουν στην κυκλοφορία μεταξύ των χρηστών και της εταιρείας.

The company, of course, reported that all communications between a Windows 10 computer and Microsoft are necessary for the end user's best experience.
