  2. Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility

    Hi May,

    To answer your inquiry about Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility, you may refer to the information provided below.

    Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility

    Telemetry is system data that is uploaded by the Connected User Experience and Telemetry component. The telemetry data is used to keep Windows devices secure, and to help Microsoft improve the quality of Windows and Microsoft services. It is used to provide
    a service to the user as part of Windows.

    Basically, it is an automated process, where data is collected at remote points and transmitted back to the ‘parent’, who uses it for the purpose or measuring, monitoring and improving services.

    Yes, it can be disabled by going through Registry Editor. However, it is highly advisable not to disable it since this is an important component to improving the system and bringing better solution to any upcoming issues.

    Feel free to post more inquiries.

    Regards.

    August 2017 updated created problems with Windows Mail AGAIN!!

    I wouldn't either. The Windows update they're casually saying to roll back also contains security updates, 25 of which were rated critical. Rolling back Windows updates to fix an email notification issue isn't good advice.

    Marisa Rogers defended the amount of data Microsoft were collecting via telemetry because she said is was genuinely useful for making Windows better. For example, if an app has a problem where it isn't interacting with the notification framework, by collecting
    the telemetry data they are able to quickly identify these types of issues and fix them.
