“Windows 10 uses the Internet a lot to support many of its features. The operating system also sports numerous knobs to twiddle that are supposed to disable most of these features and the potentially privacy-compromising connections that go with them.  Unfortunately for privacy advocates, these controls don’t appear to be sufficient to completely prevent the operating system from going online and communicating with Microsoft’s servers.  We’ve argued recently that operating systems will continue to make privacy-functionality trade-offs.  But the flip side of this is that disabling these services for those who don’t want to use them should really disable them.”
