Windows 10 keylogger: How to stop Microsoft from tracking everything you type
There's been heaps of controversy associated with Microsoft's latest operating system Windows 10 since it was launched, but the latest issue takes the cake – apparently Windows has been quietly logging every single keystroke users make on their keyboards from the beginning. Even better, that data is being constantly sent to Microsoft's servers on a regular basis.

We're not sure why on earth Microsoft would want users' keystrokes, as this data is only really useful to cybercriminals seeking to crack passwords to steal sensitive data, and IBTimes UK has asked the computing giant to clarify, but in the meantime, it is possible to solve this problem.

Here's advice on how to turn off the Windows 10 keylogger:
Concerned about privacy? Then always say no

If you haven't yet installed Windows 10 but are thinking of upgrading, then your road ahead is simple. When you install Windows 10, make sure that you select 'custom install'.

hesright

All those tips and BS articles do not stop the MS spies. They only let you feel good thinking you did something about it. Because believe it or not, if you WERE able to stop it all, the OS would crash on boot.

I didn't say embrace it, and I'm no fan of MS. I was just simply stating facts.
