Microsoft has often been accused of spying on Windows 10 users by collecting telemetry data to fix bugs and improve certain features. The company has tried several times to address all of these concerns with improvements to its privacy controls.
One of these updates is ready for Windows 10 Redstone 4, as Microsoft tests various approaches to privacy settings with the help of the Windows Insider program.
What Microsoft intends to do is test several privacy experiences during Windows 10 installation in an effort to determine what is the most appropriate way to release the production version of Redstone 4.
While some users will have a single screen to control all their privacy settings, others will get seven separate screens to navigate through the wizard. This will include Microsoft's recommended settings for what the company considers "the best Windows 10 experience," and these options will be distinguished by a dotted line.
In addition to the new privacy experience offered when installing Windows 10 for the first time, users will also have the ability to control their privacy settings at any time at Start > Settings > Privacy.
Windows 10 Redstone 4 is expected to be released this month, so Microsoft has been working around the clock to have the new privacy experience ready for this upcoming update. The software giant has not yet announced the name of the new Windows 10 update, but more information about it, including the launch date, will be provided in the coming days.
