    What's this key?

    Code:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\System\AllowTelemetry

    Just checked. I'm on Enterprise from ESD and with Telemetry turned off via Group Policy Editor. Despite that, the values are identical to those in the supposed OEM image.

    Since the current remodeling of the Windows License, it would seem, at least to me, that once the official version is released, all beta testers will still be on the "rolling release" with telemetry / keylogging installed. So, this thread may become vital to anyone who is somewhat concerned about their privacy, and still using Windows. That being said, I think it's time for anyone with privacy concerns to abandon ship and jump to Linux or BSD.

    Privacy and Windows in the same sentence is a complete oxymoron. If you use Windows 10, don't expect any privacy or control over your data. This is exactly what I was talking about on the previous page, but apparently only a few people are smart enough to care about it here.

    I may mess with it for personal interest, but I don't know if it's a good idea for the general public.
    Removing a package could cause problems with updates/features/new releases

    Does this scheduled task count as logger / information sender:
    Task Scheduler -> Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows ->SettingSync -> BackgroundUploadTask ??

    No "regular" way to disable it, it seems.
    From what I gathered, the task uses these files:
    Code:
    %SystemRoot%\system32\SettingSync.dll
    %SystemRoot%\system32\SettingSyncCore.dll

    Well, I don't think anyone knows yet. I see the same thing. By design, Enterprise is supposed to allow to completely disable telemetry and data collection, but it still displays "basic". Very suspicious indeed.

    The telemetry options may or may not be removed after the 29th. If you are concerned about privacy, I suggest using Linux on the desktop. You can always dual boot or install Windows 10 to a second hard drive.

    Is this present even on OEM RTM version? MS logs everything you type? For real?

    The proplem with linus is that not support much hardware-drivers and is one of the reasons who I don't use.

    That is actually not true. In some cases, Linux supports certain drivers better than Windows. It really depends on which distribution you are trying. There are many reports of Linux supporting hardware 100% right out of the box, whereas the same can't be said for Windows.
