Microsoft is no novice when it comes to privacy investigations. But the latest one being carried out in the European Union by the Dutch Data Protection Agency (DPA) could put the Windows maker in a lot of trouble. Microsoft is collecting data from Windows 10 users remotely in a potential privacy breach, the agency has said.

“Microsoft has complied with the agreements made,” the DPA said. “However, the check also brought to light that Microsoft is remotely collecting other data from users. As a result, Microsoft is still potentially in breach of privacy rules.”
