This is stated in the announcement for the last Insider Preview. <\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>New Telemetry options<\/h2>\n<p>At the end of last week, Microsoft released the Windows 10 Insider Preview 19577 for testers (I mentioned it briefly in the blog post <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/03\/06\/windows-10-insider-preview-build-19577\/\">Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 19577<\/a> without going into much detail). But in the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windowsexperience\/2020\/03\/05\/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-19577\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Windows Blog<\/a>, there is a short note that will be relevant for Windows 10 users in the future: <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><strong>Diagnostic data changes in Settings<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As part of the Microsoft initiative to <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.microsoft.com\/on-the-issues\/2019\/04\/30\/increasing-transparency-and-customer-control-over-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">increase transparency and control over data<\/a>, we're making some changes to the Settings app and Group Policy settings that will start showing up in Windows Insider builds this month.  <\/p>\n<p>Basic diagnostic data is now known as Required diagnostic data and Full diagnostic data is now Optional diagnostic data. If you're a commercial customer and choose to send Optional diagnostic data, we will also be providing more granular Group Policy settings to configure the data that's collected within your organization.  <\/p>\n<p>We'll publish more specifics around the new policies when we get closer to the retail release, and in the meantime, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/privacy.microsoft.com\/en-US\/privacy-report\">Microsoft Privacy Report<\/a> for more information around our data collection practices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As part of the initiative 'Improve transparency and control over data' Microsoft is changing some entries in the <em>Settings<\/em> page.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The previous option <em>Basic<\/em> for collecting minimal telemetry data in Windows 10 is now called <em>Required<\/em> &#8211; an allusion to the fact that this data collection is considered indispensable.\n<li>The option currently named as <em>Full<\/em> will be named as <em>Optional<\/em> in future versions of Windows 10. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I don't quite understand the sense of this whole action &#8211; nothing changed under the hood. And if you test in the Windows Insider Preview, you have to set the telemetry data collection to <em>Full<\/em> before you upgrade to build 19577. Otherwise you will not get any more Insider Builds in the future. <\/p>\n<p>Only companies will be able to use Group Policies in future,&nbsp; to define which telemetry data &#8211; in addition to the required data &#8211; is collected in the <em>Optional<\/em> level. The option to completely disable telemetry, which I mentioned in the article <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/02\/03\/windows-10-v1909-enterprise-telemetriedaten-deaktivierbar\/\">Windows 10 V1909 Enterprise: Telemetry can be deactivated<\/a>, seems to be taken back. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Similar articles:<br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/02\/03\/windows-10-v1909-enterprise-telemetriedaten-deaktivierbar\/\">Windows 10 V1909 Enterprise: Telemetry can be deactivated<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2020\/01\/03\/windows-10-datenschutzsplitter-die-krux-mit-der-telemetrie\/\">Windows 10, the telemetry and the GDPR privacy problem\u2026<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2018\/03\/20\/windows-10-enterprise-updates-and-the-telemetry-trap\/\">Windows 10 Enterprise: Updates and the Telemetry trap<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2019\/09\/14\/windows-7-security-only-update-kb4516033-with-telemetry\/\">Windows 7: Security-only Update KB4516033 with Telemetry<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]In future Windows 10 versions, Microsoft intends to 'rename' the options for telemetry data acquisition &#8211; but the content will not change.
