Could Windows and installed apps upload all my personal files?
Dear all
I have deleted Onedrive and disabled File system access in Privacy.
1.
I would like to know, which other ways that my personal files could be uploaded in a non-malicious non-hacker way?
2.
Just by using Windows, Microsoft could upload all my personal files to themselves if they would?
3.
Does every installed App / software have full access to my whole drive? How can I found out, how much access it has?
Thank you for your interest and reply
Best regards

- Hello Emil.
You can execute https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon
It is an applciation that you can check all the process of your windows. you can create a filter to show the application that download and upload. It will point to IP and what is the .exe sending/receiving.Hello
Installing an external application with the highest privileges - I think it is pointless for personal computers that do not act as a workstation!
- True, but it is a answer for question number 1. It is possible, and no t necessary "install" procmon, it will run on demmand to monitor. it is good for personal computer users to understang the flow of information. is very graphical and the online doc give a lot of information.
Thanks
- Hello!
You're not working properly!
OneDrive is a secure Microsoft service!
And disabling access to the file system makes many applications useless!
Really Windows10 if it is up to date provides sufficient security ! The most important access of the application does not copy your files without the permission of the administrator!- "You're not working properly!"
What do you mean?
"The most important access of the application does not copy your files without the permission of the administrator!"
What application are you here refering to?
Thank you your reply
