Privacy in Windows 10

This tool completely disables Telemetry, tracking services, and other privacy breaching things in Windows 10, and is not bundled with malware, adware, or other bloat. This is useful if you care for your privacy, do not have a special version of Windows 10 (Enterprise, Long Time Service Build, or Education), and/or if you want to save on bandwidth that Windows 10 uses in the background. It is non-destructive (unlike Destroy Windows 10 Spying) and can even disable the peer-to-peer Windows Update function that always seems to be on. It is also compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 to block corresponding services that may breach your privacy.

It works fairly well, just installed it. Hopefully this helps my PC a bit as a lot of background stuff was running.

Were you using Cortana? This disables her, so you might want to revert that change.

I had already tried turning Cortana off before that. But, for some reason it corrupted my system files for the Start Menu completely. Fixed it now after searching online and reverting the changes made with the program. I couldn't even open the Windows Start Menu, nor the Search Feature.

I find that interesting, as I've never used the program on anything but clean installs :x
Though system restore points are always a necessity, I don't think I have to explain why xD

I can't exactly do System Restore points cause my laptop is a piece of shit. The last time I tried, my laptop crashed and when I restarted it the background was removed and my icons were messed up.

Then what you need, is a complete system image backup. That way, you make a new friend called the Linux pendrive to be your buddy that restores it when shit hits the fan.

ehh gotten use to the spying

If you ain't got anything to hide then you should not have to worry about some lurkers in yo PC.

This is kinda what I go by now. I used to think "oof I wanna be Supr 133 hair" and be anonymous in any way that I could be. But then I though. Who cares?

Honestly if I'm doing nothing wrong then why should I care about trackers? Even if they get hacked and my info is released. Who cares enough to pick me out of the other millions of people.
