DiagTrack -What is does and how to disable it!!

It looks like Microsoft may be collecting a lot more feedback from you behind the scenes. Microsoft collects information about you, your devices, applications and networks, and your use of those devices, applications and networks.

" This isn't the only thing Microsoft is collecting, According to the Privacy Policy, the company is collecting things like text inputted into the operating system, the details of any/all files on your system, voice input and program information.

OK so if they're storing typed characters in some fields temporarily to help improve autocorrect, that's great. If they're storing every character I type, including all my passwords and personal information, I just want to know that so I can make an educated decision as to what I should and shouldn't do with the alpha/beta/whatever.

In other words, if they're storing typed characters in some fields temporarily to help improve auto-correct, that's great. If they're storing every character I type, including all my passwords and personal information, I just want to know that so I can make an educated decision as to what I should and shouldn't do with the alpha/beta/whatever....

This from Microsoft:

We must stress that the feedback being collected in the Windows Technical Preview will only occur within the Technical Preview period. Once Windows 10 launches to the public as RTM, the data Microsoft collects will be removed from the operating system.
This isn't a permanent feature within Windows 10, and therefore should not be a concern to your average Joe.

Wrong!
Its now called Connected User Experience

You can disable it using the Services manager.

Windows-key, type services and hit enter

Locate the service Diagnostics Tracking Service and double-click on it

Activate the startup type menu and select disabled from it. This disables the services' autostart

Click the stop button afterwards to stop the running process. This stops the service for the current session.
