Hello everyone, what privacy options do you suggest adjusting? Do you have any tools or registry entries that can help secure Windows 10 and Windows 11 more effectively? I’m using a version that changes how the OS handles incoming and outgoing connections, making it ask for permission like in Windows 7. I’ve never seen someone create an OS that removes my games and files without consent. We all understand why Windows wants to scan my PC for random viruses—it wasn’t ideal. The prompts used to pick the wrong files a couple of years ago, which was really concerning. This is one of the most vulnerable aspects alongside printers, file sharing, and network discovery. And naturally, what else should be turned off to stop those Microsoft agents from tempting my machine?

Turned off all tracking features and added Windows Spy Blocker to prevent Windows from contacting external services. Also used Chis Titus Techs Win 10 Debloater on both Windows 10 and 11 versions.

This tool doesn't remove files unless instructed, and it handles automatic cleanup of things like cached downloads, such as Windows Update packages.

I run Shutup10 on top configurations with full power. Spybot disables any services suggesting telemetry. I also use WIN10 LTSC and remain skeptical about the GD system. It’s isolated behind an external firewall, plus a hosts file blocker that’s extensive.
