In May 2017, it was reported that Microsoft had, as part of its partnership with China Electronics Technology Group, created a specially-modified version of Windows 10 Enterprise designed for use within branches of the Chinese government. This version is pre-configured to "remove features that are not needed by Chinese government employees", and allow the use of its internal encryption algorithms.
PC and laptop owners have opted to install this version of Windows 10 because of the fact that many of the privacy issues that people have had concerns with have been removed.
Windows 10 CETC has the following software removed:
- Edge Browser
- Cortana
- One Drive
