Windows is a personalised computing environment that enables you to seamlessly

roam and access services, preferences and content across your computing devices
from phones to tablets to the Surface Hub. Rather than residing as a static software
programme on your device, key components of Windows are cloud-based, and both
cloud and local elements of Windows are updated regularly, providing you with the
latest improvements and features. In order to provide this computing experience, we
collect data about you, your device, and the way you use Windows. And because
Windows is personal to you, we give you choices about the personal data we collect
and how we use it. Note that if your Windows device is managed by your
organisation (such as your employer or school), your organisation may use
centralised management tools provided by Microsoft or others to access and process
your data and to control device settings (including privacy settings), device policies,
software updates, data collection by us or the organisation or other aspects of your
device. Additionally, your organisation may use management tools provided by
Microsoft or others to access and process your data from that device, including your
interaction data, diagnostic data, and the contents of your communications and files.

The Windows Settings, formerly known as PC Settings, is an essential component of


Microsoft Windows. It provides a convenient interface for adjusting user preferences,
configuring the operating system and managing connected devices so that you can
manage user accounts, adjust network settings and personalise various aspects of
Windows. Windows provides a mechanism for apps to access various device
capabilities such as the device’s camera, microphone, location, calendar, contacts, call
history, messages and more, while controlling access to your personal data. Each
capability has its own privacy settings page in Windows settings, so you can control
which apps can use each capability. Here are some key features of Settings:

1. Customisation: You can personalise various aspects of Windows, including the


look and feel, language settings and privacy options. Windows settings uses
your microphone when controlling the volume, camera when using integrated
camera and location to change brightness at night time to help you customise
your Windows.
2. Peripheral Management: Install and manage peripherals such as printers,
monitors, and external drives.
3. Network Configuration: Adjust networking settings, including WiFi, Ethernet,
mobile and VPN connections and will use physical MAC address, IMEI and
mobile number if device supports mobile.
4. Account Management: Add or remove user accounts, change account
settings, and manage sign-in options.
5. System-Level Options: Configure display settings, notifications, power options,
manage list of installed apps and more.
6. Privacy & security management: configure your privacy preferences such as
location, collection of diagnostic data etc. Fine-tune which individual apps and
services can access device capabilities by turning them on or off.
