We show you how to set up and manage the data you send to Microsoft about how you use Windows 10 on your PC

A few days ago we saw how we could manage the permissions of the different applications that we have installed on our Windows 10 computer. The steps were very simple and today we are going one level further. Let's see how to manage privacy in our team

This is one of the improvements released by Windows 10 April 2018 Update and that allows us to determine what type of data we send and we can do it the same way we do it when we first start the operating system.

"

The first step is to access the menu Settings using the gear wheel or the Win + X key combination. to access the new Privacy option now offered by Windows 10"

Comments And Diagnostics

"

We have accessed the menu Privacy and then we will search in the left column and we will _click_ on the option Comments and diagnoses We then go to the right column and select one of the two options: basic or complete These make Let&39;s send more or less data to Microsoft:"

• Basic Option: basic data is sent about the configuration we use and the functionalities we use.
• Full Option: together with the above we send data related to the applications we use or our web browsing.

Ink data

"

Another of the options we see is the one related to sending the Handwritten input data. This data is what is generated when you use a stylus on the screen to make annotations."

"

Another option is related to Personalized experiences by which the system identifies the use we make of our equipment and recommends applications that we do not have installed in the start menu."

Diagnostic data

"

Another option is called Diagnostic data, a submenu that gives us access to option Diagnostic data viewer If we activate it we can see the data that we have sent to Microsoft, information related to the use of Windows 10."

To do this we must download a tool that will allow us to access said data. These will be more or less depending on what we have selected above: basic or complete.

"

What we see we can like more or less and if this last case is what we don&39;t care for, Windows 10 offers an access that with the name Delete allows us to delete this data from Microsoft servers."

This is an improvement that is now more important than ever with the entry into force of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) ).
