I am fairly sure I disabled it, and when I checked this morning it was enabled. Likely that got enabled again after an update.

I've always been upset with them because of Win Update - automatic restarts and aggressive behavior. Worse is the fact that: yes, some updates seem to reset settings and policies set in the past. Automatic restarts and these "security" settings included - mine were all enabled - disabled on install.

I do not seem to have that option in privacy settings, I am on the 15063 RS2 release

I'm not personally concerned about keylogging but as mentioned, the way windows takes over your settings is my biggest gripe with Windows 10. Disable something, it will get re-enabled by windows. Want to roll back a driver? Too bad, windows is going to update it. There needs to be some kind of power user setting so people who want to tweak can do so without all these windows roadblocks for the PC illiterate. That way, fun Microsoft easter eggs like the "we had the best intentions" keylogger can just be turned off for good.

At my screen it's grayed out. I found this quote: "This is based on that in the privacy settings under "Settings" -> "Privacy" -> "Feedback & diagnostics" -> "Diagnostics and usage data" it is set to "Basic". Change it to "Enhanced" or higher, the message disappears." here. Now the red message is gone but still I've got the option disabled by default.

M$ does re-enable these switches after every major update. This is why i i disabled mine a group level http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae103/fyew-jit-tiv/Capture_zpspxdlobmc.jpg Since doing this M$ has not been abled to re enable anything i disable. Notice mine is greyed out.
Mine is grayed out as well in the off position. I am using SpyBot Anti beacon to disable stuff such as Cortana.

That´s why Windows has auto updates that the user can´t control... So they can do everything that they want!... And then people are surprised so many don´t want to move to W10...

Windows 7 is the best OS right now (for windows users) and will remain to be until its EOL date. I will not use Windows 10 after, I can assure you all of that.

Just shmoogle for "O&O ShutUp 10". Use recommended preset to disable the feature and other similar spying features for good. :thumbup:

After seeing a post on Reddit - who cares if M$ is trying to monitor you - According to a recent REDDIT post - Intel has it all built in to the CPU so you can't disable or firewall any monitoring out.
Having spying features built into a CPU, doesn't get around a proper firewall. CPU only affects the hardware it controls.

This has happened repeatedly. I've seem my privacy options reset at least 3 times since using Windows 10. It was probably more times than that but I never bothered check. Oh and as a heads up to anyone who think they have the forced reboot (the 15 minute timer of death) disabled in the Task Scheduler, it enables itself again after updates as well. Thanks Microsoft, I sure needed my PC shut down in the middle of work. For anyone wondering it's in Task Scheduler Library > Microsoft > Windows > UpdatedOrchestrator

From what i've seen, unless you're running Enterprise or maybe also Education edition, you really don't have as much control over this mess as you should. And even then there's more going on then meets the eye in any "settings" or gpedit areas. The windows 10 telemetry rabbit hole goes so deep, and is so dynamic, at some point you just want to say, screw it i just want to use my PC.

You mean you will be forced to use it in 2020. Unless you want go Linux and play the 1,5 Games that support it.
Windows 10 does what it wants, user has no control of it. Not all the spying features Windows 10 has and will have. Plus you still have control of Windows 7.
Good luck taking control of an EOL product, it's more like hackers will take control of you as time passes.
