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.<\/p>\n<p>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. If you would like to see a detailed demonstration of the following items, please watch my YouTube video.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fV4eN17nU7k\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
