Windows 10 - Quietly Logging EVERY KEYSTROKE You Type And Sending It To Microsoft(How To Stop It)

Yesterday we reported that an international group of hackers claim they have breached Apple’s iCloud user database and stolen 300 million usernames and passwords. The group has threatened to initiate a widespread factory reset on April 7th, 2017, potentially wiping out data on tens of millions of iPhones and iCloud accounts should Apple fail to pay a ransom.

But that breach by nefarious hackers, while serious, is nothing compared to what your trusted operating system provider may be doing on your personal computer.

According to a recent report, if you are a Windows 10 user then every single keystroke you have ever typed on your computer may have been logged and sent to Microsoft.

You know those nagging questions during the installation process that ask you whether or not you want to “help” improve Windows by sending data to Microsoft? If you happened to answer “yes” to one of these questions, or if you went with the Microsoft default installation, there is a real possibility that everything you have done on your computer from the get-go, including sending “secure” messages (because the keyboard logger captures your keystrokes before they appear in your secure messaging app), is now a part of a massive user database somewhere.

There’s been heaps of controversy associated with Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 10 since it was launched, but the latest issue takes the cake – apparently Windows has been quietly logging every single keystroke users make on their keyboards from the beginning. Even better, that data is being constantly sent to Microsoft’s servers on a regular basis.

It’s been reported that Microsoft has been using the data to improve artificial intelligence writing and grammar software, but it’s not clear what else they are doing with it.

I was told Apple had the best security known to mankind.☺

I suspect everything is monitored, REGARDLESS of how you set those settings.

[wally_bert]

I can’t seem to turn that off.

Time to roll back to W7.

Thank you!

Another reason not to be a Windows10 user. Still using Windows 7.

This is why I will cling to Win 7 until my last dying breath.

Also, I quit Win 7 updates back when they tried to force Win 10 on us. Zero problems, McAfee does a good job of keeping me safe.

And in ANY case, the NSA is monitoring every keystroke, by ever person in the USA. They just don’t actually REVIEW it, until someone like Hussein Obama says “Bring me Trump’s file.”

How do I get to that screen?

HA,HA.

After I read that, I swear I heard a faint voice say "bring me 2harddrive's file."

[dragnet2]

They don’t need to review it. They have software to do all that for them.

[KarlInOhio]

Mine is grayed out and I can't turn it on even if I wanted to. But then I have all of those turned off anyway.

"How do I get to that screen?"

I have no idea. I'm on 8.1 (new computer)(7.0 old computer) and can't find it either. So....

Someone smarter than us will come along momentarly.

Privacy Settings is what you click on and turn everything to “off.”

This is why I will cling to Win 7 until my last dying breath.

I said that way back when I had windoze 98, but now have windoze 7.

It gets harder - some must-have app will no longer work, or the PC needs to be replaced, and good deals on new ones come with the latest in microsoft snooping technology in Win 10.

That’s what resident Apple fan boys would like you to believe. Page G Sword maker......

How to get to that screen showing on the post: I need step-by-step using Windows 10 and Google Chrome.

“Have Microsoft improve your writing”?? What BS!!

You can’t turn everything off completely- even when you change a setting, it still in some cases records and sends- and updates were, maybe still do- change it back to ‘allow’ when you aren’t looking-

Windows 10 spyware crap sucks-
