About the software<\/span><\/h2>\nThe by default highly questionable set options concerning privacy and data protection in Windows 10 brought me to the idea to develop this program. Microsoft generously enables everybody to change the concerning settings, but hides them in countless menus, where a normal user does not want to search for!<\/p>\n
The program should therefore be a help, to display the available settings relatively clearly and to set the desired options if necessary.<\/p>\n
The primary focus is on settings for Windows 10 and its apps (for example the new browser \u201cEdge\u201d). The program will be expanded gradually, if possible and available, with the corresponding Windows 8.1 features in the future.<\/p>\n
W10Privacy is certainly no programming masterpiece, but meets my envisaged purpose. The software is still in an early development phase: suggestions and requests will be gladly accepted and considered, if necessary, in the further development!<\/p>\n
Changes in v3.3.0.4:<\/strong><\/p>\n\u2013 Integration of other deactivatable tasks that are related to the Office products. The tasks are only displayed in W10Privacy if they also exist on the system.<\/p>\n
\u2013 Change of red color for restricted settings for better readability. Many thanks to Florin for the hint!<\/p>\n
\u2013 Fix registry key to disable Windows 10 upgrades. Here a space had crept in the key name (\u201cWindows Updates\u201d instead of \u201cWindows Updates\u201d). Many thanks to Tricknik for the meaningful hint!<\/p>\n
