No, Windows 10 does not generally log keystrokes.
The one and only place that things like keystroke logging are mentioned in the privacy policy is in the context of interacting with Cortana and the related search service, where the phrasing is similar to "things you enter here get sent to us, and we log those things."
The vast majority of the Windows 10 privacy concerns are mitigated by turning off the Customer Experience Program stuff and never turning on Cortana.
- bhrgunatha 11y agoIt's been reported elsewhere that key strokes are logged. Whether it is limited i nature or not, the ability is there and is used. Why? What's the need for key strokes to be logged rather than just a complete edited search term sent to a server. Why does anyone need to know which keys I press on my computer?
