Microsoft makes Windows settings backup the default in 26H2
Microsoft is turning on Windows settings backup by default in the upcoming Windows 26H2 update, meaning users' settings will be synced to a Microsoft account unless they opt out. The move is prompting discussion about default-on data syncing and user choice in Windows configuration.
Why now: A change in default privacy and sync behaviour in a major Windows release affects how users' settings data is stored and shared.
