This is criminal. I think a case could be made here for unauthorized access under the CFAA for users who don't want to switch but are switched anyway. Microsoft is clearly overstepping its bounds and accessing files that it has no permission to. In fact, there's no way to know what it's accessing and W10 can actually be seen as malware that intentionally sends data to MS (which it does). The only reason we're not looking at criminal charges here is because this is MS. There is absolutely no difference between this W10 behavior and malware except that most malware is nowhere near this harmful. And in this case, we know that MS has both a motive and actual intent to do harm and access a system it was not given authorization to access.
