go to privacy and turn as much as you can off. by default it tracks what apps you open etc, even if you selected no to everything in the setup.

Everything.

Start with the following programs, if you value your privacy (and want Win10 to be less cluttered)

https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

https://www.w10privacy.de/english-home/

https://www.safer-networking.org/products/spybot-anti-beacon/

 

WARNING-

Some of these changes will break some functionality in your Windows 10 setup, read carefully what each setting does and decide for yourself if you should enable it.

 

If you don't care what win10 does behind the scenes with your privacy, then feel free to ignore this post

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Everyone may like or not different system functions - that is why Microsoft gives users control panel. You should browse all settings and set them like you want by yourself.
