    Browsers affected by Optional diagnostic data


    The option "Optional diagnostic data" will send info about websites you browse, according to Settings. But doesn't specify which browsers are that. If that'll be only Edge, or any URL from any browser, say Firefox, Chrome, Opera, etc. etc. Any ideas on this? - - - Updated - - - According to this website, it will only affect Microsoft browsers: "Aggregate information about browsing history in Microsoft browsers is used to tune Bings search algorithms to provide more effective search results." Diagnostics, feedback, and privacy in Windows 10 Does somebody trust this?

    :)

    Browsers affected by Optional diagnostic data

    Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown Browsers affected by Optional diagnostic data :(
    I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
    I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

    Give these troubleshooting steps a try and keep us posted with the results!
