According to foreign media reports, Microsoft recently confirmed that the new version of windows Genuine verification program wga forced to send information to Microsoft, even if the user clicks "cancel ".
According to British media reports, wga is a means of Microsoft's fight against piracy. However, it has been accused of incorrect verification.
However, if you want to cancel wga installation, even if you click "cancel", wga still sends data to Microsoft. In this regard, Microsoft recently confirmed, but said that it did not send any private information, but some wga usage data.
