Here&#x27;s one example of a feature I dislike (description from <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;information-technology&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;windows-10s-privacy-policy-is-the-new-normal&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;arstechnica.com&#x2F;information-technology&#x2F;2015&#x2F;08&#x2F;window...</a> )...<p>&quot;Windows 10, however, shakes this up. Instead of two separate systems—one for error reporting, a second for collecting usage data—both have been rolled into one combined setting. This setting has four positions: off; basic error reporting and simple device capability reporting; enhanced diagnostic tracking that extends the basic information with more detailed error reporting, and usage telemetry; and full data, that adds process memory snapshots to the enhanced data. This means that there&#x27;s no way to participate in error reporting without also participating in usage tracking, and vice versa.<p>Further, the &quot;off&quot; option is only available in Windows 10 Enterprise. The common home user versions of Windows, Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro, always collect (and report) at least &quot;Basic&quot; level information and no way to turn off the feature entirely.<p>The genuine privacy implications of this seem slight, but for those who absolutely do not want to send anything to Microsoft, Windows 10 is certainly a regression. Is Microsoft poring over this data, trying to sniff out the details of Windows users&#x27; lives and figure out all their secrets? It&#x27;s highly unlikely—but the removal of the ability to turn off this reporting is nonetheless strange, and there&#x27;s no clear reason for it.&quot;
