On the other hand, Microsoft also provided up fixes for Windows 10 users affected by a bug that did not offer them the option of selecting key privacy settings throughout the setup. It also did not provide instructions regarding the ways to change those privacy settings.
Microsoft notifies that a small segment of Windows 10 devices have been affected by the privacy setting bug and company already released updates to deal with it in Windows 10 version 1709, Windows 10 1803 as well as Windows 10 1809.
Windows update will give the updates in case it detects that the device has been affected by the bug. After getting updates, users will see a notification which offers detail information regarding the privacy settings that were affected along with the guidance to change those settings too.
However, the company did not clarify about the issue; in fact, it affects the display of the privacy setting screen. Also, customers have been presented with an opportunity to select the setting in terms of their privacy settings at the time of setting up of their device.
Microsoft has worked upon the improvement part of Windows 10 privacy settings under the scrutiny of European privacy regulators who were not actually satisfied within what way the company informed the customers regarding the data it was collecting from them.
