In Windows 10, a wide range of privacy settings involving users’ privacy exist throughout the whole system, so that ordinary computer users cannot protect themselves from the so-called data mining behaviors taken by Microsoft. Therefore, we have to turn to third-party applications to protect our privacy when using Windows 10. W10Privacy is one of the most comprehensive software solutions, developed by Bernd Schuster from Germany.

W10Privacy has the most privacy protection related settings among all similar applications, which are subdivided under more than a dozen tabs. Although there are many other Windows 10 privacy protection tools and they got unexpected success, most of them are short of W10Privacy’s design details (such as support of creating a system restore point to ensure that you can always backup/restore and import/export your settings as need). Of course, it also means you may need more time and tries to decide and complete your proper choice. Finally, it can help you fully prevent Windows 10 from sending any information from your computer to Microsoft servers via almost any known channels.

If you worry about your privacy, and don’t want Microsoft to access and exploit some of your personal data or info, then W10Privacy this small program could be just what you need. Of course, that is to say you don’t mind giving up some convenient and cool function designs of Windows 10.
