Windows 10 to get tool that shows what collected telemetry data is send to Microsoft

Windows 10 to get tool that shows what collected telemetry data is send to Microsoft

Microsoft has planned to release what is called a Diagnostic Data Viewer later this year. This is a Windows 10 tool that allows users to see exactly what data telemetry Windows 10 uploads to Microsoft's servers.


The tool will be released alongside the next Windows version reports Microsoft. Which probably is next spring. The Diagnostic Data Viewer will not standard included in Windows, but is a separate program that Microsoft will publish in the Windows Store for you to download. The Diagnostic Data Viewer is a Windows 10 app that lets you search, filter, and review categorized diagnostic data your device is sending to Microsoft. At the same time, a standard user can now make changes to their account’s Diagnostic Data levels, even after the administrator has set the original level.

Microsoft:

o kick off the new year ahead of Data Privacy Day we are giving our Windows Insiders an early preview of the Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer coming in our next release of Windows. Our commitment is to be fully transparent on the diagnostic data collected from your Windows devices, how it is used, and to provide you with increased control over that data. This is all part of our commitment to increase your trust and confidence in our products and services.

In addition, the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard will enable you to see and manage more data associated with your Microsoft account. These changes are part of the greater enhancements we are rolling out now and in the coming months.

Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer:

The Windows Diagnostic Data Viewer provides even greater transparency to all the diagnostic data received from your Windows device. Available to everyone in the Microsoft Store, the Diagnostic Data Viewer is separate from the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard and allows you to see, search, and take action with your diagnostic data.

You are able to see and search all Windows diagnostic data that’s in the cloud related to your specific device.

The diagnostic data presented in the menu includes;

  • Common Data, like the Operating System’s name, the Version, Device ID, Device Class, Diagnostic level selection and so on.
  • Device Connectivity and Configuration such as device properties and capabilities, preferences and settings, peripherals, and device network information.
  • Product and Service Performance data that show device health, performance and reliability data, movie consumption functionality on the device and device file queries. It’s important to note that this functionality is not intended to capture user viewing or, listening habits.
  • Product and Service Usage data includes details about the usage of the device, operating system, applications, and services.
  • Software Setup and Inventory such as installed applications and install history, device update information.

The Diagnostic Data Viewer provides you with the features such as view, search and filter of your diagnostic data, as well as the ability to provide feedback about the viewer. 

We’ve updated the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard with a new Activity History page which provides a clear and easy to navigate way to see the data that is saved with your Microsoft account. The Microsoft Privacy Dashboard allows you to manage your data and change what data is collected by adjusting the privacy settings on your device or browser at any time.

And in the coming months, we’ll also bring additional features that will allow you to;

  • View and manage media consumption data, as well as product and service activity on the Activity History page
  • Export for any of the data you see on the dashboard
  • Delete specific items to allow for greater individual control

Participants in the Windows Insider Program will have the first opportunity to explore all of these new features. They’ll also get an early look at some additional changes in functionality and settings in the coming weeks, and we’re looking forward to their feedback.

Your data privacy will continue to be a priority towards making Windows 10 the best and most secure experience. From improving in-product control, transparency and information about your privacy, while providing a complete list of the diagnostic data collected at the Basic level, among others, to launching the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard and the enhancements we’ve made since then, we want you to be able to easily see and manage your activity data online across multiple Microsoft services.

One of the more ridiculous things MS has ever put out. It's like asking a spy what he's spying on and expecting full disclosure.

... and to see what data they grabbed off of you you have to use the store? Okay, I guess they can keep that thing then...
I never used the store and honestly, putting the software there is just another useless move that bugs users to use that stupid store nobody needs.

M$ made a tool to show what data being sent to M$ on M$ OS.
That's very thoughtful of you M$.

Maybe a simple button saying : "Don't Worry" when pressed, would be more efficient.

iOS had this for years. Well done playing catchup, MS :P Anyways, if you had telemetry set to full and you opened reliability monitor before the reports were sent, you could inspect their telemetry. At least that's what I observed in the insider builds.
