• The second option is only adjustable if you chose the Full option from the first section. This option allows Windows 10 to send your inking and typing data to Microsoft. If you chose Full earlier, you can still turn the inking and typing data option off.
• The third option is called Tailored Experiences and this allows you to choose whether or not Microsoft provides tailored tips or ads based on your diagnostic data settings.
• The fourth option asks if you want to view your diagnostic data in the Diagnostic Data Viewer. If you toggle this option on, Windows will use up to 1GB of hard drive space on your device to devote to this data.
• The fifth option allows you to delete whatever diagnostic data Microsoft has already gathered about your device.
• Lastly, the sixth option is called Feedback Frequency, and this option allows you to choose how often Windows asks for your feedback.

1. Follow steps 1 — 3 of the General settings category instructions to access the main Privacy settings menu in Windows 10.

4. If you chose the Optional option in the previous step, you can adjust the option underneath the heading called Improve inking and typing. To turn this option on or off, tap on its corresponding toggle button. If you chose Required in the previous step, you won’t have access to this option.

5. You can turn on or off the Tailored experiences option by tapping on the toggle button found under the Tailored experiences heading.

The Activity History privacy settings category has four options you can adjust as they relate to the gathering and sending of your activity history with your Windows 10 device. In this context, your activity history is personal data gathered about how you use apps and services and information about the websites you visit.

• The first option in this category lets you choose whether or not you want to store this history on your device.
• The second option asks if you want to send your history to Microsoft. The stated benefit of allowing your device to keep your history and allowing Windows to send your history to Microsoft is that it presumably allows you to quickly resume your activities even if you do something like switch devices (this feature is known as Timeline).
• If you linked your various Microsoft accounts with your Windows 10 device, you’ll be able to adjust the third option, which lets you hide the activity history of these accounts from your Timeline feature.

4. The second option asks if you want send your activity history to Microsoft. If you do want to send your activity history to Microsoft select the box next to the phrase Send my activity history to Microsoft.

5. The third option is only available to those who have linked their Microsoft accounts to their Windows 10 device.
