You guys think Windows 10 data tracking is bad? Server 2016 is worse. When I try and shut the machine down (it's a VM and I want to change config) it actually asks me the reason for the shutdown. I understand servers are intended to always be up but geez that's overkill. And this is only within my first hour of installation and use.

    Um, that’s been in the server version since forever. At least since 2003. It’s mostly a scare prompt intended to make the user really think about what they’re doing. The data doesn’t go to Microsoft.

    @gblues Huh, alright. Guess I was wrong. Thanks for the info! I still get the impression that a fair amount of stuff goes through.

    @gblues the data does get stored on the computer though, so the network admin of the work place can trace the reason for any shutdowns and restarts.

    That's only for the audit log...
