New installations include the additional privacy screens as part of the first-run experience.<br \/>In a blog post today, Microsoft said the Creators Update changes have meshed well with users. It cited customer feedback that the privacy settings are \u201ca boon for the privacy minded\u201d and \u201cvery well done.\u201d The company also revealed 23 million people have visited its separate web-based cross-device privacy dashboard since its launch in January.<\/p>\n<p>Improved Windows 10 Creators Update privacy controls<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>READ NEXT:<\/strong> Microsoft sees cyberattacks as part of the \u201cfabric of society\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIn April, we outlined significant enhancements made to the Windows 10 Creators Update that put you in more control to make informed decisions about your privacy,\u201d said Microsoft. \u201cThose enhancements included improving in-product information, updates to the Microsoft privacy statement, and publishing more information about the diagnostics data we collect.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cSince then, feedback we\u2019ve received about the Creators Update has been positive.
