Has Windows 10 November Update (Threshold 2) reset your privacy settings

 
Has Windows 10 November Update (Threshold 2) reset your privacy settings and default apps?

»betanews.com/2015/11/14/ ··· lt-apps/


Windows 10 has caused greater privacy concerns than any previous version of the operating system. You may well have spent some time tweaking settings so that you are in control of your privacy and limit the tracking that Windows 10 is able to do, but if you have installed the latest big update you may well have to do it all again.

In addition to resetting their privacy settings to their defaults, many people have reported that installing Windows 10's November Update has wiped out any personalization of default apps....

Well, all documents opened, all sites visited, everything typed on the keyboard, all discussions in the room since that update are now public. This is a privacy nightmare. Never ever allow Internet access to a Windows 10 machine.

Now the question is: was this ported to affect the spying backported to Windows 7 and 8.1?

All of my Privacy settings remained as I had set them previously (location, mic, camera, and radios off, feedback never, diagnostic basic). Only my default apps were reset.

We seem to have a major contradiction of behavior here. Which is one of the really frustrating things of late with Windows: users having completely different experiences after an update. Trust in the reliability and repeatability of things Microsoft is fast evaporating...
