Windows 10 Creators Update is just around the corner and Microsoft added up to the hype this Monday when they’ve released the Insider Preview Build 15002.

Microsoft has also introduced the so-called web-based privacy dashboard. The data includes search, location activity, browsing, and Cortana’s Notebook data.
So that is useful. The new setup menu essentially breaks down user privacy data into more distinct categories and more clearly showing the effects of turning off and on settings.
Moving on, Microsoft claims that it has simplified its Diagnostic data collection from three levels to two: Basic and Full.
The company’s Windows 10 Creators Update are clearly created to address the big growing privacy issues, but users still need to wait until the Windows 10 Creators Update in April to see whether the software company has truly addressed all of the privacy concerns. As we speak at this moment in time Windows is also building in a selective screen capture mode that has previously been limited to OneNote.
Microsoft has come up with this update to build trust with its existing users and establish a transparent windows experience wherein users have access to the information that the company collects about them and be able to control it too.
It’ll certainly be a big boon in the workplace, because it leaves no danger of some passing rogue chancer being able to look at confidential data on a PC which somebody has forgot to lock when they’ve gone to get a coffee. The Creators Update will add the ability to toggle between basic and full data collection levels, whereas now, there are three different data collection levels.

“Many of you have asked for more control over your data, a greater understanding of how data is collected, and the benefits this brings for a more personalised experience”, wrote Terry Myerson, VP of the Windows and devices group overnight. From there, you can see what data’s been collected and you can change your settings or clear your data.
