Windows 10 – Refresh Tool

/ / 0 Comments / Windows 10

Sailor,

while Microsoft put a temporary hold on releasing new features for Windows Insiders earlier this week, they are still rollling out new builds where they focus on bashing bugs. The company released build 14367 to the fast ring for PC and mobile late Thursday (June 16, 2016).

Within this build Microsoft released a “Refresh Windows” tool:

“A new tool to give your PC a fresh start: We’ve heard from many of you that are attempting to perform a clean installation of Windows that it can sometimes be hard to get started. To help, we are providing a new tool that enables an easy and simple way to start fresh with a clean installation of Windows. This tool is now available from the Settings app for Windows Insiders using the latest builds that installs a clean copy of the most recent version of Windows10 and removes apps that were installed on your PC. ” wrote Dona Sarkar in the announcement for Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14367

Windows 10 – Azure Active Directory – Overview

Windows 10 – Manage or disable Telemetry

/ / 0 Comments / Windows 10

Ahoy Pirate!

in my last post I wrote about the four levels of telemetry – what each level does and what it reports. Let’s now have a look on how you can reduce the level of transmission as a normal client and in enterprise business.

To wrap up the general stuff again:

  • the “Security” level is only available in Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education and Windows 10 IoT Core editions.
  • the default level is “Full” for Windows 10 Home and Professional and
  • the default level is “Enhanced” for Enterprise edition.
  • On a device that is running an Insider preview edition, this value is set to “Full” and can only be changed by installing a released version.

Windows 10 – Telemetry levels

/ / 0 Comments / Windows 10

Ahoy Pirate,

Windows 10 is one of the most or maybe the most communicative operating system ever released.

Nevertheless there might be some cases where you need to reduce or disable the level of communication. Today I will tell you how.

So lets start up with the question what is telemetry?
