This app allows you view the json file your computer upload to Microsoft.
But to open it, you have to join the insider program and agree to upload more private data.
To know what data Microsoft spying on me, I have to agree to let Microsoft spying me willingly.
What kind the logic is that?😀

    It's because the app itself is not available to non-Insiders yet. Soon, you won't even need to do that.

    Hey, it's the "Windows doesn't spy on you" guy!

    Yep, Microsoft has your best interests at heart. Totally. They'd never think of collecting anything that wasn't totally anonymized and scrambled, nor correlating any of the data with your product key. No, not even under the guise of fighting piracy. They would never do that because that would be wrong.

    They want you to feel totally free and safe, and do so by providing you top-quality software, all open source and backdoor-free, with security updates whenever there are vulnerabilities found. No accounts or unique id's required. They even go so far as to fight against the government requesting access to your computers and data!

    Good guy Microsoft.

    @sunfishcc That was dripping with sarcasm, in case it wasn't totally and completely obvious.

    @Root Mozilla irl said if you set "help Microsoft improve", this json file will contain mouse event and all file changes. And you can't turn it off on Windows 10 pro, all upload settings are turned on be default.

    I'm really interested to see what it really contains.

    It's funny that someone make sarcasm even on windows security updates ... Maybe it confused with chrome os or android :D

    @dontbeevil Google is very scary, it's even worse than Microsoft. Apple also has some similar mechanism. So I guess unless you use tails, there's no way out.
