Windows 10: Huge Privacy Concern with Microsoft taking a backup of your laptop files without your...

I was surprised to see that Microsoft already extracted all the files from my Windows 11 laptop without my authorization.It is currently showing that the last backup took place last month.I never enabled backup and did not setup OneDrive.Which means that Microsoft took the files and placed them somewhere else!Appreciate a bit of clarity on that, and if this is the case, there is a bit of awareness and corrective actions that need to take place from Microsoft.#GDPR #Privacy #MicrosoftPrivacy

Privacy Concerns with Microsoft Account

If I use a Microsoft account on my Windows 11 laptop, will Microsoft be able to track which websites I visit and see all my local and online activities? Privacy is a big concern for me, so I need to know exactly what Microsoft will be able to see and track in terms of my activities.
