Boy, the good ole days are gone when it comes to Windows. I am posting just to help anybody that doesn’t know. This is like a creepy wire tap. If you are actually using Windows 11, make sure to disable and or reduce telemetry in Windows 11 (Privacy). If that actually helps, I am sure there are more ways they send data back but the video link is a simple how to for the telemetry.

    Admin accounts on Windows have little more control of core functions than a guest user. Its unrealistic to expect this can be prevented it can be mitigated but any workaround will be undone by the next major update.
