Only if you activate the Recall feature which is well known, far from beeing secret. Apart of this, using the Portmaster app, you can controkk and block any MS telemetries with an simple click. Windows permits a lot of privacy settings, but naturally it don't say it to the users how to do it. A good handling of Windows need an more advanced user as Linux. Windows only seems easier to handle in the surface.
