Microsoft does not have a good sequence with the Windows 11 updates.
The February update for Windows 11 seemed to bring better news, with significant improvements in aspects such as File Explorer, but Microsoft has stumbled at the last moment with serious failure that is impossible to avoid. And now it's time to talk about the next update, which is already available for users of Windows 11 beta and dev versions; More specifically, we are talking about version 26120.3281 which was published this week.
The big question that the reader is probably asked is: this update of good or evil? We do not know if there will be a “bug” hidden in the code, but for the moment, everything indicates that On this occasion, it will be worth updatingAnd curiously, all thanks to the European Union, which is forced to implement some of these changes.
And is that Microsoft will take advantage of the next update to Respect data protection regulations (RGPD) European; This means that Windows 11 will not manage so much personal data and that internet connections will be minimized.
Some users will notice it in the Elimination of certain sections in the file explorer They connect with our Microsoft personal account to display recent documents and files, such as the recent section, favorites and recommended.
Not only that, but Microsoft finally eliminated one of the parts that made less sense in Windows 11: The API of the history of geolocation. Many current users may not know, but years ago, Windows had its own virtual assistant to compete with Siri and the Google assistant; His name was Cortana, and among his functions, there was the recording of computer history, including geolocation if it was activated, to respond to user problems.

Cortana has long been eliminated from the windows, although it has a spiritual successor, Copilot, which fulfills similar but more advanced functions. However, and strangely, everything that concerned the history of the geolocation of Cortana again It is always present in all Windows 11 installations.
This does not mean that our computer has “spied” and recorded our location without authorization; Only Microsoft has decided to leave this part in case an application in the future could use it. But with the GDPR, this function can report problems to Microsoft if you do not ask for the express authorization of the user, so the company opted for Eliminate it completely. In practice, this should result in a safer and more light system.
