Hello Robin, et al, Of course, I am not the moderator of this list and I can only speak for myself.
Having said that, a lot of us iOS users sync our devices with iTunes for Windows. Some of us, including me, manage our photos, contacts, calendar appointments, etc via a Windows PC. Windows 10 is a major step forward for both Microsoft and those of us who choose to use iTunes for Windows. As with any new OS, there are some unexpected and/or unintended consequences to adopting the new OS by itself or in conjunction with an Apple device. Having said all of this, I would ask that you consider that we blind or low vision iTunes Windows users are kind of in an iTunes limbo in terms of finding accurate and timely support for our iOS devices. Keep in mind, that just as on the Mac, iTunes does not stand alone; it must function within an operating system environment. To that extent, and no further, I think it's important to share critical OS information about what many consider security/privacy holes that one can expect and/or correct when using iTunes for Windows. This is the reason why I posted the original article in this thread. However, I hope you will notice that I did not answer Theresa's question as to what kind of files are being shared, on-list, as my primary purpose in posting to the list was to make iTunes for Windows 10 users aware of the hidden WiFi sharing feature, only. Thank you for understanding and I hope this answers your question.

Taylor Sent: Wednesday, August 05, 2015 10:36 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Important Notice to Those Using iOS Devices with Windows 10: How to Disable Windows 10 Update Delivery Optimization Hello My Fellow Windows Users, You know, I am becoming less and less enthusiastic about Windows 10 as it does so many things, in terms of sharing our information, and now, it seems, even our band-width without our expressed permission. Please read the following, carefully, to discover how to disable this, in my opinion, very unwelcomed feature. You know, this is almost enough to make me consider making my beloved Mac my primary iOS synchronization computer (smile). Mark How to Disable Windows 10 Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO) By default, Windows 10 is using your bandwidth by way of a new 'feature' called Windows Update Delivery Optimization (WUDO). In a nutshell, Windows 10 is uploading files in the background to other Windows 10 users. This brief guide will explain how to disable the Windows Update Delivery Optimization service. 1. Click the Windows 10 "Start Button" and select Settings 2. Select Update & security from the Settings menu. 3. Click Advanced options 4. Click Choose how updates are delivered 5. Finally, toggle Updates from more than one place to Off 6. All done! -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
