[QUOTE="piquiteco, post: 1024684, member: 96829"] I agree, I think I or some of us are getting a little paranoid as the news comes out, I believe the use of the SUA account, is easier to use nowadays because of the PIN, even though many still don't like it because it is inconvenient. The vast majority of today's applications work without administrative privileges, in Windows XP it was almost impossible to run and use a program without administrative privileges, then in 2006 in Windows Vista Microsoft introduced UAC (Known as User Account Control) which worked, but eventually became annoying, because the UAC settings bar that I remember only had two levels which was on and off, then in 2009 Microsoft released Windows 7 was when UAC had improvements and had 4 settings that you could choose from always notify, then only notify when applications try to make changes to my computer, and lastly never notify me when it defeats the purpose of UAC. Yes, I had logged into the Microsoft account just because of Onedrive and Outlook email and nothing else. Yes, according to rumors circulating on the web in Windows 11 Microsoft tracks practically everything and even shares it with third parties. [/QUOTE]
