"why not just automatically fix issues that you know how to fix and can detect?" If I can detect the issue and know how to fix it, why do I need MS again ?

Telemetry is the first service to get turned off (after every update; Nvidia, too).

Many years ago I was talking with a Microsoft employee, and he asked me what's the biggest database on Earth that nobody ever reads. The answer was Microsoft error report database.

As long as telemetry can fix all dcom problems in the logs, I will use it.

Y'know all that whining people do about MS/Windows spying on users? As far as I'm concerned, that's the telemetry service. That is what sends most of the user's data to MS. To my knowledge, it's been around since Windows XP. So basically, this is just adding more responsibility onto the service.

I.... call BS. Never had windows fix an issue for me, not prior to win10, nor afterwards. Even if so, it's a system that's designed with flaws they just left over to fix with telemetry. Even if that's true, and telemetry is used for it, it's still a sign they did not do their job properly in the first place, or there'd be nothing to fix.

Actually, the majority of the telemetry in previous versions was opt-in by way of the customer experience improvement program. Completely optional, unlike the borderline surveillance level "telemetry" in windows 10.

MS think we'll be ok with this? Its mad hattery gone mad. Try not releasing broken code in the first place. The crap they force upon us is unbelievable. I would rather they left the OS alone instead of making things worse. Then at least the mods we add to make it serviceable again wont be removed. The beneficiaries of their updates are themselves. Its a relief still being on Windows 7.

I'm always tempted to correlate the Farcebook, Discord, Reddit..other social link users who leak data everywhere... but have histrionics over anonymized telemetry. I've never changed a thing about Windows telemetry...can someone explain what the fear is? Leaking folder names from your pron stash? Can anyone articulate what it is....pass the bag man...

I can only hold the people who disable telemetry and indirectly contribute to a worse OS with contempt. See all those issues in the issues and updates list on nvidia's drivers, those are on them.
