Latest Update to Windows 10 Crashes when Kindle eReaders are Connected to USB



Seems like every week there's a major issue revealed about Windows 10. More here, and here.

A fresh install of Windows 10 is set up to record at least 100 things about how you use the web and your PC in general. Much of this "telemetry" can be turned off, but not all.

As soon as another update comes out, it all gets turned on again by default.

Good discussion about the article in the comments here.
