I want to know how to access Windows 10 keylogger?

 Windows 10 seems to have a keylogger-like mechanic, according to this and this. I'm aware this is only to improve user experience. So I thought, since I can't remember my own PW that was used to encrypt a file, I just looked it up in this feature.


What exactly is recorded by this feature?

Can I access the log files or are they sent and deleted?

And if the former, where can I find them? Is it possible to access them?

The question how to access Windows 10 keylogger can be answered as - they don't really let us know where it is stored (we're not meant to access it), but it seems like this may be it:


C:UsersusernameAppDataLocalMicrosoftInputPersonalizationTextHarvesterTextHarvester.dat

According to Microsoft:

Note The TextHarvester.dat file that is created is part of the Input Personalization system that adapts the language model and dictionary to a particular user, based on the user's usage. This usage information is primarily obtained through the search indexer.
