How to disable the hidden keylogger in Windows 10

Windows 10 is a true digital Big Brother that keeps track of everything you do.

Microsoft admits it has a keylogger in its Windows 10 speech, inking, typing, and privacy FAQ: “When you interact with your Windows device by speaking, writing (handwriting), or typing, Microsoft collects speech, inking, and typing information—including information about your Calendar and People (also known as contacts)…”

Microsoft claims that it collects ‘your typed and handwritten words to improve character recognition and provide you with a personalised user dictionary and text completion suggestions.’

Thankfully, this feature is optional and it is very easy to turn it off. 

Here are the settings to turn it all off:

Click Start > Settings > Privacy > General and make sure that Send Microsoft info about how I write to help us improve typing and writing in the future is set to Off.

While within the Privacy page, you may also want disable everything, unless there are some things you really need.
