EU still unhappy with Windows 10 data collection, despite changes

Microsoft recently announced some changes to its Windows 10 privacy policies and configuration, making it easier to see at least some of the user information that’s being gathered and giving users some ability to change privacy settings. While those changes — some of which are coming in the impending Creators Update — were welcome, they’ve also been met with some skepticism.

Apparently, the changes aren’t enough to placate at least one major governmental body. The European Union (EU) has let Microsoft know that it’s not completely satisfied with the company’s work so far in managing Windows 10 privacy and that more remains to be done, as PCWorld reports.

Privacy issues in the EU are managed by the Article 29 Working Party, which represents all of the privacy regulators for each EU country. The working party wrote a letter to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch, in which it outlined its remaining concerns with how the company gathers data in Windows 10 and what should be done to address them.

The body’s main concerns revolve around the extent to which Microsoft informs users of what data is being passed along, and how the company plans to use the data:

“The Working Party would like to recall that user consent can only be valid if fully informed, freely given, and specific. While it is clear that the proposed new express installation screen will present users with five options to limit or switch off certain kinds of data processing, it is not clear to what extent both new and existing users will be informed about the specific data that are being collected and processed under each of the functionalities.”

Specifically, the new change to offer “full” and “basic” data gathering isn’t enough of a change to meet the EU’s requirements, because saying that Microsoft will collect “less data” isn’t specific enough for users to fully understand what’s being collected. Also, telling users what data is collected in general isn’t enough — the company should also tell users clearly and specifically how the data will be used.

While the working party doesn’t have the authority to levy any fines or otherwise dictate Microsoft’s actions, it does influence policy throughout the EU. So far, a number of European countries are conducting investigations into how Windows 10 gathers data, and so the working party’s continued displeasure with Microsoft’s policies could indicate the company is in for a bumpy road.

Top 10 Windows shortcuts everyone should know

An individual using a laptop's keyboard.

Windows 11 shortcuts are a constantly-used feature by practically all PC users. Apart from saving you time from carrying out the specific command without having to perform a few extra clicks on your mouse, it’s simply more convenient to refer back to shortcuts via your keyboard.

Although you may be satisfied with the Windows shortcuts you already know about and utilize on a daily basis, you can enhance your general Windows experience in a big way with these 10 shortcuts everyone should know.
Ctrl + Z
Tired of always having to use your mouse to find and click the Undo button on a program like Microsoft Word or, say, entering details on a website or editing images? Ctrl + Z will basically undo whatever your last action was, providing you a convenient way to reverse edits and changes within a second. From personal experience, this shortcut proved to be especially useful for productivity applications.
Ctrl + Shift + T
We’ve all been there. Nowadays, our browsers are inundated with multiple tabs, and as such, it’s hard to keep track of at times. Eventually, you’re going to close a tab on accident when trying to select it. Instead of trying to remember what it was or spending a few seconds accessing it and reopening it via the Recently Closed feature (on Chrome), simply hit Ctrl + Shift + T to restore the last closed tab. Similarly, Ctrl + N will open a new tab.

After 10 years of headaches, I’m finally a believer in Windows on ARM

Almost two years in, Apple is on the verge of completing its transition to ARM. It might surprise you to know, then, that Microsoft started its own journey to ARM chips long before Apple.

But Windows' support for ARM has been far less smooth. There aren't many more Windows devices with ARM chips than there were five years ago -- and I can attest to having personally used every failed attempt along the way.
