Isn't this the clipboard history? Did anyone verify this claim independently? It's incredibly hard to believe they would upload plain text for 'telemetry'.

  It's true. I'd recommend ShutUp10 to disable this and other 'features' Unfortunately it's not that hard to believe. Let's not forget Ubuntu did this as well and sent everyone's data to Amazon.

  I would guess it's either the clipboard history or the typing data telemetry. Both of those can be turned off. I'm sure someone will say that those have turned themselves back on with updates, but I'll believe that when I see it. Edit: actually just noticed that there's nothing to back this claim up. I didn't realize that the reply here was from a different account and not the one that's talking about the whole Win-R sequence. It's entirely possible that this is a packet capture from typing into the start menu search with the web search feature enabled.

  Its not true, read the entire twitter thread. Its been dubunked already as BS It will send (encrypted / 443) if using start menu search (as it uses bing to inter search as well. But doesnt do this for Run as the tweet is claiming. The PCAP file is also more than a year old (which is not great in fairness)
