The new Microsoft Windows 10 operating system has received a fairly warm reception from bloggers and computer technology specialists. More importantly, the new OS was welcomed with open arms by users who dreamed of leaving Windows 8 on their laptop and starting with a clean slate.

Without a doubt, Windows 10 has breathed new life into the Windows lineup. However, there is also bad news. As many users know, Windows 10 spying behind almost everything you do. Behind everything. Microsoft is not shy about tracking any of your activity on a device running Windows 10, and not just network activity. And even if you are not an intelligence agent, you are unlikely to like it.

By default, Windows 10 is configured to learn as much as possible about the user's actions on the computer. Moreover, if you read the license agreement with Microsoft (which, by the way, you agreed to when installing Windows 10 and which no one reads), your hair will stand on end! You yourself allow Microsoft to spy on you, and only the *** knows how the company will dispose of this information.

So if you want to stop surveillance in Windows 10, you are incredibly lucky. Today I will introduce you to 11 different utilities that will solve the problem once and for all. tracking in Windows 10.

Destroy Windows 10 Spying

Destroy Windows 10 Spying is one of the most popular, simple and effective programs that allow you to disable tracking in Windows 10. With one click, the program allows you to disable tracking of user activity, remove unnecessary built-in WIndows 10 applications, and also clear or change the hosts file. You can also use this utility to configure the privacy settings of Windows 10.

Destroy Windows 10 Spying includes a professional mode for more flexible configuration, but if you don't know why you need it, don't enable it.

The program works very simply - launch it, click on the “Destroy Windows 10 Spying” button and wait for the utility to finish.

Disable Win Tracking

Disable Win Tracking allows you to selectively disable or remove any service that may be used to track you, as well as selectively remove any of the pre-installed Windows 10 applications. An interesting feature of the program is that it allows you to re-enable any of the services (if you have not removed it permanently), as well as reinstall any of the removed pre-installed applications.

Working with the program is extremely simple.

• Run the downloaded file
• Check the boxes for the services you want to remove (top part of the program). Also note the required operating mode of the program (Service Method). If you want to disable services - “Disabled”, if permanently deleted - “Delete”. Press the “Go” button
• At the bottom of the program, mark the pre-installed Windows 10 programs that you want to remove. if you want to delete everything, select “Select all apps”
• Click “Unistall selected apps” to remove selected programs.
• It is also possible to restore disabled services/deleted applications. To do this, you need to select the desired services/applications in the program window and select the “Revert” mode for services and click “Reintall original apps” for applications.

Overall, it's a very convenient program. Particularly interesting is the opportunity to “return everything the way it was.”

DoNotSpy 10

The DoNotSpy program has many settings that will allow an experienced user to flexibly adjust the level of their privacy. However, this program also has a disadvantage - software is installed along with the free version of the program. which will sometimes show ads in the browser. For the paid version you need to pay 5 bucks. So I don’t recommend installing the free version, but it’s up to you to decide whether to spend your money on this program.

Windows 10 Privacy and Shit

Windows 10 Privacy and S**t is just a bunch of code. You need to download the code text from the official page, create a .bat file and execute it. You run the file as an administrator and then it does everything itself - disables services monitoring you, telemetry, changes the hosts file.

Windows 10 Privacy Fixer

Windows 10 Privacy Fixer has a compact interface through which you can change important privacy settings in Windows 10. Click on the “Check” button and the program checks your system for enabled services and services that are monitoring you.

Windows 10 Fixer Privacy will allow you to disable the 4 main services associated with the telemetry and feedback service, block telemetry via the hosts file, prevent applications from accessing system functions such as location and calendar, and also make changes to general privacy (for example, disabling unique advertising identifier)

You can also use this program to remove all built-in Windows 10 applications. Please note that a backup is not created and using this program you will not be able to restore these applications after removal.

Unfortunately, Windows 10 Fixer Privacy lacks explanations for some of the program's functions, which sometimes causes slight confusion.
