Majority of people send full diagnostic data back to Microsoft

Majority of people send full diagnostic data back to Microsoft

Pretty much the bigger part of Windows 10 computers with the Creators Update installed sends full diagnostics data to Microsoft, according to a blog on the Microsoft website. Under pressure of several privacy watchdogs Microsoft decided to add new privacy setting screen to the installation process.

Users now have to confirm several privacy settings during the installation, this includes the diagnostic data that Windows 10 collects and sends to Microsoft reports myce today:

Previous Windows 10 versions used 3 different levels, which has been brought back to 2 levels with the Creators Update. These two are ‘Full’ and ‘Basic’. Microsoft has stated to use the collected diagnostic data to resolve issues and to improve its products.

When the ‘Basic’ level is set, Windows 10 will send device, connectivity and configuration data to Microsoft, and also limited error reports. When the full level is selected, the basic data is sent and also additional information about the device, connectivity and configuration, but also app and browser usage, fragments of hand typed text and more extensive error reports.

During the installation of the Creators Update users have to confirm which level they want to use on the privacy setting screen. The installation uses the previously chosen privacy settings but allows the user to change them.

Microsoft today announced that 71% of all Windows 10 computers with the Creators Update sends full diagnostic data to the company.

It’s not unlikely that this number is so high because the full level is enabled by default in case users never changed the privacy settings after the initial installation of Windows 10.

I was just waiting for another unqualified post of somebody willing to give away their data and I wasn't disappointed either.

Can you please send me your personal details so I can start my own user database too? Please, thank you. :)

LOL, Right? Why bother with this stupid data?

Btw, can you send me your family member names, contact info and their address. I love tracking people connections... Oh and add your credit card if possible.
You wouldn't care anyway, right?

Although I was first to ask him for his data, I'm willing to share with you :D

Don't forget social security and a copy of their photo id! No need to worry about such silly things :nerd:.

Microsoft could probably make good money by offering a proper version of 10 without all the junk and data collecting. A shame they're so intent on offering Windows as a service or whatever.
