7 ways Windows 11 collects your data — and how to opt out

Microsoft collects required data for Windows operation, including basic details of the device and diagnostic data for system failures. Optional data collected includes browsing history, connected devices, inking and typing, product and service performance, product and service usage, software setup and inventory, and location. Users can opt out of optional data collection by navigating to Settings > Privacy & security > Diagnostics & feedback and toggling the relevant options to Off. To view the data collected by Windows 11, users can install the Diagnostic Data Viewer app from the Microsoft Store.
