Windows 10 can search for and disable Pirated Games

[Jizz_Beard_thePirate]

I am interested to know how it does that. Like does it scan ur system for games and versions or is it limited to say the games u buy from the windows store? And is it limited to MS software or other ones as well? I want to see where this is headed cause if it scans ur entire system for programs u have installed, that is a huge privacy issue

I am also wondering if you can stop the auto updates for things like that by using the group policy trick since you can use that to stop windows from updating altogether?

Either ways, I am getting a bit ehhed right now with some of the news. I am sure the hackers will find a way to block a lot of these things though. We will see where this thing lands

Edit:

So apparently, but quote me if I am wrong, the things that MS can disable and etc are limited to MS services!

"Sometimes you’ll need software updates to keep using the Services. We may automatically check your version of the software and download software updates or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices. You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services. Such updates are subject to these Terms unless other terms accompany the updates, in which case, those other terms apply. Microsoft isn’t obligated to make any updates available and we don’t guarantee that we will support the version of the system for which you licensed the software."

And here are the services it is limited to:



Which to me is fine if it really is the case since all those are Microsoft applications/programs but lets see where it ends up at
