It’d be great if the OS told you the how and why in plain English.

- pathartl 4y agoWhile I realize it's not a solution to the issue you raised, it's worth pointing out that Microsoft does a decent* job of documenting the types of telemetry taken across the Windows platform: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/configure-windows-diagnostic-data-in-your-organization https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/privacy/configure-... * When I say decent, I mean this absolutely should be the bare minimum, but this type of thing feels rare in the industry.
