Microsoft debunks Windows 11 tracking myth, explains whesvc's real role

The Windows Health and Optimized Experiences service (whesvc) is a diagnostics component that powers Adaptive Energy Saver and local performance tracing, not a covert data-leak tool.

Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman clarified the details to counter the rumor.

It is designed to improve battery longevity by intelligently managing power consumption during different tasks.
