Windows 10: Will insiders be able to disable the so called keylogger once.....

I won't and don't do any banking or sensitive work on the TP.
That will be left for the desktop running RTM or Windows 7.

 

That why I don't use the preview more. If an option appears to disable it, then I would use windows 10 preview more. Right now, I am just using windows 7 along with xubuntu 15.05

I am still trying to decided if I want to give up my dvd player and use VLC (Vlc maybe illegal in the U.S. but that another debate).

 

I thought this rumor had been put to bed a long time ago. THERE IS NO KEY LOGGER IN WINDOWS 10. There is not, nor has there ever been one. You are being ridiculously paranoid if you believe these false rumors.

Yes, there is verbiage in the EULA that *allows* Microsoft to send information you type to Microsoft, but this is nothing more than the "spell check" feature that has been in Windows since Vista or 7. The a feature that underlines misspelled words sends those words to Microsoft's spell check web service to determine if they are spelled wrong or not. Google does the same thing in Android, as does Apple in iOS.

The feature is typically only used in multi-line input, and not numerical protected fields like those used for credit cards.

You can turn this off in Settings, but you also lose the ability to spell check.

The only other possibility is that crash dumps can result data like credit card information being saved in the dump. However, this is no different than Windows today, which can do the same thing.

Telemetry data does not capture credit cards, in fact, they are required by law to filter anything that looks like credit card data from any logging they do. If they didn't, they would not be able to use credit cards payment processing as the payment processors would not allow them to. This is a standard known as PCI (or Payment Card Industry) certification.

 

Well it is still a logger of some type.

Direct from the horse mouth so to speak.

 

If MS uses a key logger on my computer they'll die from boredom. Sorry MS, Nothing to see here. *Smile

 

Same here.. Like I posted earlier.. I would worry more about hackers than anything MS would do and MS is not doing a thing.

 

MS is only concerned about how we use Win10 and what problem we do or do not have. They are not going to risk a lawsuit over hacking into someones bank account.

 

Most of this is people not wanting to trust MS no matter what or how the spell out what they're doing. Shame but heck it's never going to stop.

 

Not a key logger.

Nowhere does that say keylogger, and it does say "samples" and for spellcheck, as I said in my post.. And, you can in fact turn this off, as there is a setting for it which you are asked about when you first create your account (and you can change later).

 

Microsoft is key logging in Windows 10 tech preview | Alphr

Disable KeyLogger Windows 10 : Windows10

No, the Windows 10 keylogger will not steal your bank information

 

All of this is speculation based solely on reading the eula and privacy policy. There are no official statements from MS, just interpretation of the same bits of the policies.

Your second link disables all telemetry collection, not any supposed keylogger specifically.

Here's a counter-link for you from a far more credible source.

Does Windows 10 really include a keylogger? (Spoiler: No) | ZDNet

 

Very interesting, I did not know that. Thanks for clarifying it Bill

 

I don't think Microsoft has the time or inclination to monitor keylogging on that many computers.

I'm thinking they world rather spend their time and resources getting Windows 10 ready for the market place.

 

I can disable it already if I want to.

ok well, that might be the different thing tho but It says "We'll collect info", assuming it means MS
