  Windows 10 still sends your personal data over 5000 times a day to Microsoft

  Ever since the launch of Microsoft’s operating system, Windows 10 it was found to be spying on its users, and still does.

  Curious to know the extent of Windows 10 spying, a VOAT user identified as CheesusCrust, set up his Linux laptop with a Windows 10 Enterprise virtual machine as well as a DD-WRT router that was being utilized to monitor traffic.

  CheesusCrust also disabled every single tracking and telemetry features in the operating system. He then left the machine running Windows 10 overnight in an effort to monitor the connections the OS is attempting to make.

  Eight hours later, he found that the idle Windows 10 box had tried over 5,500 connections to 93 different IP addresses, out of which almost 4,000 were made to 51 different IP addresses belonging to Microsoft.

  After leaving the machine for 30 hours, Windows 10 expanded that connection to 113 non-private IP addresses, potentially allowing hackers to intercept this data. This was after disabling every single option in windows.

  Taking his test to a step further, CheesusCrust again installed Windows 10 Enterprise virtual machine on his laptop, disabled all tracking features and enabled a third-party tool known as DisableWinTracking.

  After this, the number was reduced to 2758 connections to 30 different IP addresses in the period of 30 hours.

  Gates is determined to control all of our lives and using windows and other Microsoft software, gives the dictator that control.
