Windows 10 has finally made a change that has been requested for years and years by customers, but which until now has not been offered by those from Microsoft, for various reasons, quite easy to understand, considering the company's activity. In the latest Insider Preview for Windows 10, Microsoft officially announced that the options for sharing the types of data that are necessary for diagnosing problems.
Windows 10 it will no longer require sending a complete set of information about the user's computer to diagnose problems, but only a limited set, necessary to have an idea about the situation. The change is currently made for those who test the beta versions of the operating system, but it will also be offered to those who use Windows 10 as the main operating system for their computers, at home or at work.
Windows 10: The CHANGE requested by customers for years is coming
Windows 10 has been at the center of much criticism for years about the types of data that is collected from computers, mainly because Microsoft takes everything it can from its users. Well, things are starting to change, and those who don't want Windows 10 to send Microsoft everything about their computers will have the opportunity to limit everything to only the necessary information, which is extremely good news.
"As part of Microsoft's initiative to increase transparency and control over data, we're making some changes to the Settings app and Group Policy settings that will start appearing in Windows Builder builds this month. Basic diagnostic data is now known as mandatory diagnostic data and full diagnostic data is now optional diagnostic data.”
Windows 10 it generally takes a lot of information from those who use beta versions of the operating system, but even from regular users, so the decision to give up taking part of them is an interesting one. Those from Microsoft know that after making this decision, they will not be able to change it to take back as much data as from Windows 10, so it is a change that will apply forever.
Windows 10 it could have this modification released together with the new big update in the spring, in April or May, but it is also possible to see it offered only in the fall.
