Boy, the good ole days are gone when it comes to Windows. I am posting just to help anybody that doesn’t know. This is like a creepy wire tap. If you are actually using Windows 11, make sure to disable and or reduce telemetry in Windows 11 (Privacy). If that actually helps, I am sure there are more ways they send data back but the video link is a simple how to for the telemetry. Here is more info: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtg_s1GQiMU

    Come off it.

    The OP is about the worrisome aspects of Win11, and we’re out here telling OP there’s an alternative that doesn’t violate user privacy.

    Obviously learning a new OS can be an obstacle but how much do you value privacy? You’re sitting here saying it’s too difficult. You’re the problem, not me

      If you value privacy, fuck off into the woods at this point. It’s looking pretty likely increasingly invasive spying laws will get approved in many different countries.
