Microsoft is bringing some interesting changes to how privacy settings are managed in Windows 10. The company’s operating system faced a lot of privacy-related concerns ever since it launched, but Microsoft has also been making significant changes to the OS in order to address customers’ concerns.

The company’s latest efforts to improved Windows 10 users’ privacy includes a new design for how your data is managed when you first set up a new Windows 10 computer. With the release of Windows 10 build 17115, Microsoft is testing a new design for privacy settings within the onboarding experience where all the different privacy settings have their own dedicated screen. The improved design not only give users more info on how Microsoft may use the data, but it also makes things a lot more readable. This new design is only available to some Insiders, and it’s not yet finalized for the public from the looks of things.

In addition to the improved design, Microsoft is also letting users now disable collection of inking and typing data. This will help users concerned about Microsoft collecting their input in Windows 10 by letting them prevent Microsoft from using your data.

Microsoft will ship these new privacy features as part of the upcoming Windows 10 Redstone 4 update, possibly called the Spring Creators Update. If you are an Insider in the Fast ring, you can get it with build 17115 right away.
