Privacy concerns have been among the many reasons some have stayed away from Windows 10 at all costs. Despite theintroduction of a new privacy dashboard last year, many have still claimed that Windows 10 collectstoo many diagnostics information.

Well, it turns out that you may soon have the ability to view, control and delete diagnostic data in Windows 10 (via ZDNet.) Indeed, there is a new Diagnostic data viewer button in the Diagnostics and feedback settings in Windows 10 Insider Preview build 17063 and 17074. Also in the same area is a button which will presumably give users the ability to delete diagnostic data. Both are just placeholders are at the moment, but you can likely assume the full functionality will come to light soon.

Microsoft has steadilyimproved on privacy features and options in Windows 10, and the company recently noted that71% of Windows 10 users share all of their diagnostics datawith Microsoft. The company also said last year that new privacy features in the Windows 10 Creators Updatehave been positively receivedby users.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
