If you have a debug build the source is included automatically (as debug information).

MS reserves the right to look at memory dumps and crashed binaries "to improve the customer experience" or something...

Take these two things together, and... you lose your source code :-(

(Assuming this is true) That’s Win10, not .NET. That would happen regardless of the telemetry discussed here.

if you genuinely fear this then go build tons of drivel and make it crash giving them too much to look at. The idea that MS are busy analysing arbitrary crashing code really suggests they have more time on their hands than sense. Getting people to read code is expensive as fuck.

I can analyze the data and discern real from false information pretty quickly. The thing about massive amounts of data is that patterns emerge pretty readily.

patterns are lossy abstractions though. That arrogance might bite ya one day.
