Microsoft reveals details of Windows 10 usage tracking

Microsoft reveals details of Windows 10 usage tracking

In a blog, the firm listed statistics on how many minutes had been spent by users in total in the Edge browser and the number of photographs which had been viewed in the Photo app.

The firm also said that Windows 10 was now active on over 200 million devices.

However, some people have questioned whether the data tracking is a threat to privacy.

Since Windows 10 was launched, Microsoft has been tracking information about how those with the OS are using it.

Until now though, relatively little has been known about what data is being collected.
I bet they know what you have had for breakfast.

I'm OK as my computers are still using Vista .

Looks as if Windows 10 is a spy in the home, I will stay with W7 for the time being as it will be maintained until 2020

Hi

Simple solution, don't use the Edge browser, use another one.
