Telemetry covers a wide variety of system information as well as a multitude of user interactions. Microsoft can configure remotely which and how much data and is collected from a particular system<sup>[''[[Consumer Rights Wiki:Verifiability|citation needed]]'']</sup>. This can go up to a level where all key presses are transmitted in real time{{Citation needed}}. This makes telemetry very in-transparent and difficult to monitor since the kind of data being collected could change at any moment without notice.<sup>[''[[Consumer Rights Wiki:Verifiability|citation needed]]'']</sup>

=====Telemetry in Developer Tools=====

Software such as:

*PowerShell

*.NET CLI and .NET SDK

*VSCode

Includes telemetry which is enabled by default. Telemetry in PowerShell and .NET can be disabled by setting the following environment variables: 'POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT' and 'DOTNET_CLI_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT' respectively to 1 or true.

In VSCode it may be disabled by simply navigating into settings, searching for 'telemetry' and setting 'Telemetry: Telemetry Level to 'off.'<ref>{{Cite web |date=4 Feb 2026 |url=https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/telemetry |url-status=live |title=Telemetry |website=Microsoft Learn |archive-date=21 Jun 2026 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260621160811/https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/telemetry}}</ref> With .NET, telemetry is collected when using any of the .NET CLI commands such as 'dotnet build/pack/run.'<ref>{{Cite web |date=26 Feb 2026 |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/telemetry?tabs=dotnet10 |url-status=live |title=.NET SDK and .NET CLI telemetry |website=Microsoft Learn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260621160007/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/telemetry?tabs=dotnet10 |archive-date=21 Jun 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=28 May 2026 |url=https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_telemetry?view=powershell-7.6 |url-status=live |title=about_Telemetry |website=Microsoft Learn |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20260621160222/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_telemetry?view=powershell-7.6 |archive-date=21 Jun 2026}}</ref>
