I've been seeing articles for a long time about the Windows 10 Creators Update. I didn't know what exactly that meant. Although there there was no apostrophe, I thought it mean an update from the creators of Win10. Two of our computers got that very lengthy (20 min?) update, and right away it showed how creative I can be. That's the idea: it's an update to let you use all your creative powers. What are those of us who aren't terribly creative supposed to do? Fake it?

I'm glad to see that MS is continuing to upgrade Win10 and add new features. From what I've read, however, it is more difficult to find ways to stop MS from spying on us with this update.

You can control how much they can see from the computer.

Correction! I see that the Creators Update is scheduled for the fall, so the publicity I got after the lengthy update was probably just that - publicity.

EDIT: Well, maybe I did get it. "We are excited to announce that today, the Windows 10 Creators Update has started rolling out to Windows 10 customers around the world as a free update." That was April 11, 2017.

I already have that on my system Jerry. If you want to shut down (or at least drastically reduce) what Microsoft can see on your system just go to Settings - Privacy and adjust accordingly.
