In 2014, I wrote an article titled, Few Tips for New Geoscience Students. I wrote it while I was a student as the University of Calgary enrolled in the Bachelor of Science program in Geology. While I was successful as a Geology student, different life and local economic events have led me to change career pathway from Petroleum field, which Geology is part of, to Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) fields. I went back to school and graduated with a Diploma with Honors (4.0/4.0 GPA) in IT from Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in 2022. Reflecting back on the article I published in 2014, I thought it is time for me to publish an article on being a student in CS or IT.

Microsoft collects data from their users through a program called telemetry system. They collect data on Windows Operating System, Microsoft programs and third-party programs. It also collects data on some user behaviour. They use this information to improve products and help diagnose issues as well as to recommend apps and features to the end user. Microsoft is not hiding anything from their end users but it requires the users to take action on their part to change limit or block telemetry system once the initial setup process is done.
Disabling or limiting telemetry on your system should not have any adverse impact on your user experience. There are multiple ways to update your preferences on the telemetry system after the initial setup.
