Hi,
Nah, it's fine as is.
BTW, I recommend this update to everyone even if you think you don't need it.
As an aside observation, funny how "Disk Cleanup" can get so confused. Showing 3.9TB to be cleaned on one install and nothing on a few others even though there was close to a Gb to remove nonetheless.....
Cheers,
What is microsoft compatibility telemetry? After recent updates it is shown in task manager with using CPU and disk
Thanks Brink, That settles that.
@Omidz 10 What is microsoft compatibility telemetry?
I assume microsoft added the word compatibility to the term so as not to make the word telemetry sound as threatening.Telemetry is an automated process, where data is collected at remote points and transmitted back to the ‘parent’, who uses it for the purpose or measuring, monitoring and improving services.
Says Microsoft:
Telemetry is system data that is uploaded by the Connected User Experience and Telemetry component. The telemetry data is used to keep Windows devices secure, and to help Microsoft improve the quality of Windows and Microsoft services. It is used to provide a service to the user as part of Windows.

Thanks Anak. I set it to Basic, it was on enhanced.
My Pleasure,
I don't know if you've seen this site yet: [Guide] Best Privacy Settings for Windows 10 It's what I follow, everything is either turned off or set to minimalist values. If, I add anything like Devices, Xbox or Facebook, I'll add them as I need them.
Sorry for ask stupid questions but what if I did not look at this forum? How was I supposed to know about this update?
I don't even know if I need it but I guess I will install it just to be safe!!!
this is just my personal opinion but I wouldn't bother installing. The less updates you do the less chance of hosing your system. It's very unlikely but updates can cause problems. It's sounds like something that may only affect a very small percentage causing the release. 99.99% will be totally oblivious to its existence. I just wait to see what updates come through the windows update method as these are what most of the public will be on. Ms releases enough of these anyway without adding to the user workload. Just my opinion though
