OK perhaps a bit tin foil hat, but github is about as vanilla as a raspberry ripple chocolate chip lemon ice cream.
Also the more you're protected generally the less you need worry about Win10 'updates' to 'save you' from hax0rs.Īlso mentioning github projects it reminds me of this thread I read the other day. A lot of what adds protection also protects you from MS. This site was good for Win7 hardening, the Win10 one is also interesting beyond just quieting Win10 down. In an ideal world we'd all use this method, learn something along the way, and know what is really happening, and guarantee spyware free. Ideally I'd still like to do all these tasks off a long list, with sub-articles for each change explaining the logic/impacts and how they work. I grabbed W10 Privacy and let it have a play and it seemed fairly ok to me. Saves time cause all you have left is Cortana/Edge and mop up W10Privacy is far more advanced uninstall both user and System apps so I switched to it. O&O has a few settings W10Privacy don't but don't uninstall apps I'll try again some time when I have more time. This single issue caused me to revert to my pre-DWS snapshot and end the testing.
How to use w10privacy windows 10#
That makes little sense, since Settings is actually needed in Windows 10 for a few things. The Settings App was completely removed, even though it's not listed in the list of Apps to be removed. I have no idea why there's a "Fix screen rotate" feature, but I don't have any problem with any kind of screen rotation, so I'm going to avoid that.But I never found any msosync.exe on my VM (which is not surprising, since I haven't installed Office there) so I guess it's just a non-applicable feature. The warning "Office 2016 may stop working after these actions" came up, which I smiled at (thinking, " that's not a bug, that's a feature!"). I don't have (and don't plan to get) Office 2016, but I figured I'd try the "Disable Office 2016 Telemetry" feature.

For "Delete all windows 10 metro apps".I unchecked the "Add spy domains to hosts file, and block in Windows Firewall" setting and skipped the "Open and edit HOSTS file" button, as I already have my hosts file and firewall setups in good order.I made a VM snapshot and started working through the "Utilities". I noticed it at the time but completely forgot about it after.
How to use w10privacy software#
Not exactly a glowing first impression from an "anti-spying" software package.Įdit 2: I see that earlier in this thread MaxXPSoft mentioned DWS_Lite. I'll be sure and try DWS_Lite and see whether there's some settings the other two haven't dealt with.Įdit: Tried running the "final version" of DWS_Lite from, and the first thing my system did was try to contact a couple of sites I'd not seen my system access before, and it put up an error message ( Error get icon). In my experience, all these tools bring something unique to the party. I have nothing against DWS_Lite - it's just that I've never tried it so far.
