Do you always get prompted or does it install automatically in certain circumstances? I have diagtrack on my work win8.1 without being prompted. I'll have to check win7 on monday. This is the first non win10 kb I've seen it mentio

Backported to windows 7 and 8 now too, but people don't seem to mind. Have a root around for diagtrack.dll if you don't believe me. If you don't have it I'll wager you have automatic updates off.

Good. But, I expect something unfortunate to happen to a high profile Belgian company or official in the near future. Of course, there's going to be no way for anyone to prove cause and effect either way. If I'm wrong about the re

It makes no odds. The most egregious intrusion of Windows 10, the wonderful keylogger 'diagtrack.dll' has been backported to 8.1 and 7 and installs under different than advertised Microsoft KB updates. So it really is time to move

So which policy is this? You try to make it sound as if this is common policy in the EU. Holding the amount generated from privatisation in trust at the ECB - that is unique to the Schauble proposal Greek situation. To call Schauble's

if people used other drugs as heavily as alcohol is used, then it's not going to be sunshine and roses. it's the volume of alcohol consumed that's the problem. too much of anything is bad for you, as the saying goes.
