I checked out this claim and and was able to find this: * https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/8zk1yy/a_simple_analysis_of_what_local_data_the_photos/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/8zk1yy/a_simple_... It stores that information in a local index, and also stores telemetry data which counts interactions with the app, but there is no evidence it is uploading indexes to MS. Do you have any evidence of this?

I believe that info was in one of these links: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configure/windows-diagnostic-data https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configure/windows-... https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configure/basic-level-windows-diagnostic-events-and-fields https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configure/basic-le... They both 404 now. I had saved a copy of both at the time, but those files must be on another drive. I'll keep looking though! There were several articles about it at the time https://www.extremetech.com/computing/247311-microsoft-finally-reveals-exactly-telemetry-windows-10-collects-pc https://www.extremetech.com/computing/247311-microsoft-final... https://www.ghacks.net/2017/04/06/windows-10-full-and-basic-telemetry-data-collection-information/ https://www.ghacks.net/2017/04/06/windows-10-full-and-basic-... These documents were massive and filled with lots of information buried in places that seemed odd and scattered across different sections so that you couldn't get all the information about what an app collected in one section/table of the document. Another thing I remember from those pages was that in some circumstances short clips (less than 1 minute) of the videos you played using window's default player would be sent to MS as well, but they said that would only happen in the event of crashes.
