The first feature update of Windows 10 in 2018 introduces options to view the collected Windows 10 data on the device, and to delete collected data.
Tip: Microsoft revealed what data Windows 10 collects at what level in mid-2017. Insider Program devices are set to Full data collecting and this is one of the requirements of participating in the program. The only exception to the rule is if the device is linked to the Windows Insider Program.
Basic is the lowest level available for all consumer versions of Windows 10. You can switch the diagnostic data level to basic using the Settings app to limit data collecting. Windows 10 collects a lot of data at this level and transfers the data to Microsoft regularly.

Telemetry, or how Microsoft likes to call it these days, diagnostic data, is important to Microsoft because the company uses diagnostic data in the decision making process.Īll editions of Windows 10, with the exception of selected Enterprise editions, collect Telemetry by default. 
The move to Windows as a Service played a major role in the decision as Microsoft's decision to switch from a "one major new version of Windows every three years" to "two not so big but still significant updates per year" release scheme.
