edit: looks like it was introduced 8 years ago in Vista:

- acqq 11y agoNo, it's not the same. It seems they do it differently now, compared to the previous versions, user kstrauser is here on HN to tell: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10111271 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10111271 "weird experience I had after upgrading my son's laptop from Windows 8.1 to 10" "By default, unless you log in and explicitly disable it, Windows 10 collects kids' usage activity and uploads it to Microsoft's servers. Presumably the same mechanism is disabled for adults. Presumably. I definitely didn't enable it, and I'm sure my son didn't check any "narc me out to my parents" checkbox."
- wcoenen 11y agoI have gotten these unsolicited report emails myself after creating a kid account in Windows 8.1, so I know it is not exclusive to Windows 10. Perhaps it is just something that is active by default for "new" kid accounts, and upgrading Windows triggers the same thing.
