No, there is no "keylogger" in Windows 10, nor has there ever been one. A "keylogger" is a piece of spyware that collects information that you type in order to give someone else that information.

If you use voice recognition features in MacOS X, iOS, Android, or Windows then what you speak is sent to the companies servers to perform the recognition in the cloud. So they have that data for every command you speak.
When you have spelling correction enabled, everything you type is sent to the servers so it can flag words for misspellings.. it does this in Windows, Android, iOS, etc..

Hello all,
I guess this time Microsoft will have to face many problems.... I don't know why people say "There is a keylogger in Windows 10 Technical Preview". They say Microsoft collects their personal Data because they heard this from others. I...
