Sneaky Microsoft renamed its data slurper before sticking it back in Windows 10

THE LAST Windows update you will need.

[hoosierham]

Running it right now.Excellent.

[lysie]

For later.

You know Gates is serving The One’s spying needs on the peasants

I moved to Mint after Ubuntu started down the dark path.

[SandRat]

is the MicrCoSoft Data Burglar also in Win - Ex 11?

[SaveFerris]

Just another reason I’m resisting Windows 10. And I miss the old days of Windows programming.

[The Antiyuppie]

This is why they were giving 10 away “free”.

I’ve used Linux on and off and I might go all the way with it - which is too bad, there are some good things about windows 10 - but there are obviously some very bad things, too. I don’t like the targeted ads either.

[SaveFerris]

I used to really enjoy Windows 3.1, 3.1.1 for Workgroups, 98 and 98SR2, NT 4.0. And writing software for same, obviously.

Now, Bill Gates acts like a moonbat liberal antichrist every which way he can. Constantly making changes nobody wants to keep grabbing licensing fees.

It’s disheartening.

Pinging an oh my. . .

[kiryandil]

How did Ubuntu start down the dark path?

[dayglored]

Is Microsoft being sneaky again? ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

No ‘Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service’ listed in my w10 services.

[dayglored]

Hi Swordmaker, looks like we saw it at the same time...

[jdege]

Started defending desktop that wouldn’t work without a GPU.

Meaning, one that couldn’t be effectively remoted or virtualized.

[B.Bumbleberry]

Was not on mine either, so I checked to see if the DiagTrack service was running, and it was. Check that out and see.

[mrsmith]

Sure enough, thanks!

If Windows 10 deleted CCleaner, why is CCleaner running on my PC right now with Windows 10 as my OS?

[miliantnutcase]

it can be turned off. People act like Microsoft hasn’t been collecting this info since Windows xp. My web proxie just blocks the data from exiting my network.
