Windows 10 fall creators update adds significant security improvements

We all remember that the launch of Windows 10 was accompanied by rivers of ink on the lack of privacy of users with this new Microsoft operating system. Since Redmond have taken note of all the feedback provided by users and the next major OS update, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will include a number of significant security updates.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update will improve privacy

Microsoft has stated that it continues to evaluate and address privacy concerns that users may have regarding how and when Windows collects user information.

" Continuing our commitment to privacy and data control, we are announcing today privacy improvements in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update for consumers and business customers, giving you more control over the information that is collected."

What features are going to disappear in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update?

This will materialize by adding direct access to the "Privacy Statement" within the configuration process. Second, as users configure a new device, the "Read More" page of the privacy settings screen will allow users to access location-specific settings, voice recognition, diagnostics, personalized experiences, and announcements. This simplifies the process of having to review the privacy statement looking for specific parts.

Another major improvement will be the addition of Android-like prompts for specific functions that each application that requests access to the device. You will be asked to provide permission before an application can access key capabilities or information of the device such as the camera, microphone, contacts and calendar among others. This Fall Creators update is expected to be officially released on October 17.
