The problem is that if you’re using a 3rd party app that IS NOT registered, it still sends the crash info to Microsoft.

They should create some better apps to manage/configure that stuff. All I see as a user is when any app crashes it gets sent to Microsoft.

Yeah, because MS sometimes fixes or shims those too, if they are too popular (or fixes bugs in their own API if those led to the crashes).

Of all the questionable telemetry this one is actually useful...
