Microsoft's taken another small step towards addressing those worried about Windows 10's impact on their privacy by adding more controls over what apps can do in the Creators Update of the OS.

Users currently have a veto over apps sharing location data; in the Fall Creator's Update, that's going to be expanded to the camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, and music/pictures/video libraries.
