By the way, is there a list of things that Windows collects about computer/user activity?

    before anyone else downvotes the parent, take a look at the URL in the sibling comment about what is captured. they're capturing more data about you than you probably realise exists to be captured.

      That's only when you have it set to Full level, which is not the same as Basic level, which is pretty harmless.

    wow - that is comprehensive and terrifying. I skimmed the list and these particular ones jumped out at me: > Movies > URL for a specific two-second chunk of content if there is an error > Music & TV > Service URL for song being downloaded from the music service -- collected when an error occurs to facilitate restoration of service > Photos App > File source data -- local, SD card, network device, and OneDrive

      Even though the "basic" telemetry data is quite the list [0], I agree that it's not nearly as intrusive as the "full" set. > only when you have it set to Full level "you" (probably any users) won't set the level to "full"; this is the default setting (source [1]). MS only offers "basic" as opt-out (which it really is not).
