Microsoft is once again tackling privacy concerns around Windows 10 today. The software giant is releasing a new test build of Windows 10 to Windows Insiders today that includes changes to the privacy controls for the operating system. While most privacy settings have been confined to a single screen with multiple options, Microsoft is testing a variety of ways that will soon change.There have been some concerns that Windows 10 has a built-in ikeylogger,i because the operating system uses typing data to improve autocompletion, next word prediction, and spelling correction. Microsoftis upcoming spring update for Windows 10 will introduce a separate screen to enable improved inking and typing recognition, and allow users to opt-out of sending inking and typing data to Microsoft.I doubt any of these changes will reassure people who refuse to use Windows because of privacy concerns.
