The Insider Program is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it offers very interesting information to Microsoft about the behavior of certain functions and the performance of the system.

This is a menu that is seen quite frequently and it was necessary to update it and remove the happy check box that on more than one occasion did not we have marked
