This is encrypted with local storage. How is this data being used to train and sell for them?

This is a black box proprietary operating system. Called Windows. How do you know anything works according to specification, both intentionally and unintentionally?

You can at least analyze network traffic if you really want to know. If you care enough to do that though, I would think it would be much easier to just not use Windows.

Someone actually did that and it sends encrypted binary-like data to their servers.

Do they explicitly say that it's analyzed on device?

They stated that video and audio stays local, but what about text transcript from said audio and video?

Except the user license agreement states Microsoft can upload/download anything, run anything, and ignore any user setting on “your” computer.

Can you link me to that? I’d like to read it.

You have to navigate all the side links of this page https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/servicesagreement/ and the separated privacy policy,

But here’s a good starting point in Paragraph 2.b It’s been modified slightly since I last captured this snippet:

[...] you grant to Microsoft a worldwide and royalty-free intellectual property license to use Your Content, for example, to make copies of, retain, transmit, reformat, display, and distribute via communication tools Your Content on the Services [...]

https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-US/data-collection-Windows

Noting. The middle of the page: Note – Consumer users can’t turn off essential services.

And here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/essential-services...

Now ask yourself how can Microsoft get away with not allowing the user to turn off services? Because it’s in the EULA.
