Windows 10 activity Tracking How to disable

Windows 10 activity Tracking information


If you’re not concerned about the information that Microsoft is keeping tabs on then you’re good to go – carry on, there’s nothing to see here
Even though Windows 10 did bring many of the features users expected of it, such as a Start Menu and revamped icons, You are still being tracked by Microsoft

You’d be surprised by the amount of personal information Windows 10 collects from its users—information including phone numbers, GPS location, credit card numbers, and even video and audio messages. Of course, Microsoft’s privacy statement outlines all the data that is collected, and you agreed to this when you downloaded Windows 10 and checked the terms of service.

Did you know that Microsoft states that
(Use of the Program software and services is at your discretion. Many features that transmit data to Microsoft are enabled automatically. You will not have the option to turn off the transmission of data for certain features in the Program software and services.)
To stop the transmission of all data, you must completely uninstall the Program software and services from all of your devices. This may require you to reinstall your device’s operating system.

Running Windows 10 means that one literally grants Microsoft access to your "private folders" entirely at their digression ("good faith") they call it.

Here's the snippet from the Service agreement:
"Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to."
PRIVATE FOLDERS !?


Thanks to a free program called DoNotSpy10 that provides you with the opportunity to easily manage what you want to share and what not. While many of the settings represent what
you can configure using the Settings and various other apps, there are also tweaks that are not easily accessible through the apps Windows provides.
