Windows 10 telemetry is pretty scary. I used to do the Windows Insider program, but noticed that they want to collect every website you visit, which seemed a little much to me. Now every week or so Windows complains that I'm not getting insider builds anymore and asks me to reenable the telemetry. The hilarious thing is that I still am getting those builds; when my computer "blue screens" it's green and claims to be a prerelease build. Makes me wonder if they really turned off telemetry.

Office telemetry is worse. There are many cases where your data goes up to Microsoft.

There are many cases where your DOCUMENT is uploaded to Microsoft.

Much clearer.

I haven't heard of this, do you have any references?

It’s hard to find now with O365, but the process that reported bugs to Microsoft post crash would always do it by default.

It’s not as big of a deal now that most users upload everything anyway.

What's your build number? You may still be on an Insider build and since a new "stable" build hasn't been released, Windows had nothing to upgrade to.
