Microsoft Outlines Privacy Changes in Windows 10 Creators Update
Microsoft announced today that it's on a "privacy journey" with
its Windows 10 users and that the coming Windows 10 "creators update" will have new privacy options with better explanations. The journey apparently started because of comments Microsoft received about those privacy controls in Windows 10. Microsoft specifically pointed to feedback from "the European Union's Article 29 Working Group and national data protection authorities" in its announcement by Terry Myerson, executive vice president of the Windows and Devices Group and Marisa Rogers, privacy officer of the Windows and Devices Group. Last year, France's data protection commission gave Microsoft three months to address alleged noncompliance with France's privacy laws by the Home and Pro editions of Windows 10. The complaints concerned the handling of data transfers, advertising IDs, cookies, PIN security and telemetry reporting. The Electronic Frontier Foundation had also accused Microsoft of disregarding user privacy with Windows 10. https://redmondmag.com/articles/2017...ws-10-privacy- changes.aspx |

Two things I noticed are the sudden removal of the traditional Control Panel, forcing users to use the "Settings" Microsoft introduced with the original Windows 10 upgrade. The other is the addition of a "Gaming" panel within those settings to enable things such as the game mode. "Apps" is also removed from within the "System" panel to make it easier to manage your software. That panel also includes a setting wherein the user can decide whether software can be installed from anywhere, to include a warning if it's not from the Store or to force users to install from the Store alone. Hopefully, this will encourage developers to make their software available from the Store and get them to move away from Win32. -- Silver Tongued-Heel OpenMedia & EFF Member Gab.ai: @silverslimer |
