What Microsoft could and should have done was to keep Windows 7 going forever. Then if people wanted Cortana or Candy Crush or anything else then paid or free modules could be downloaded from a website, NOT from a stupid Windows joke store. That way the whole Windows 8 wacky town with charm bars would have been avoided. Windows 10 would never have happened.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but in the latest updates are a lot of the settings that get disabled often get ignored because Microsoft don't want people actually turning them off. It has also been proven that a lot of policy registry settings get ignored also. None the less it is a good video at least it's some form of Hope for everyone who thinks that there is still privacy that exists

Unless you are a AAA title gamer and/or locked into Adobe Creative suite, there really is no good reasons not to switch to Linux. Windows 10 is a war on privacy and we all fight these settings on a continual basis if we choose to stay on Windows. I wonder how long it will be before Brian moves his channel to focus on Linux tutorials? With Windows 10, at some point, we need to say enough is enough.

@@kumar-wx5tk good point. And there are choices when considering Google. That's another topic though. The right to personal data privacy is not negotiable IMHO. There is no excuse for companies deliberately hoovering personal data for their own commercial gain. Unfortunately, these companies will continue to push legal and etchical boundaries on data collection whilst the general online community continues with apathetic attitudes to their own personal data. However, for those of us that care about our personal data, there are positive steps that can be taken to thwart the ongoing march towards more and more unwelcome data collection. Surrender might be some peoples decision (which I respect), its just not a decision that is acceptable for me.🤓 Peace....

Nowdays upon fresh install of Windows 10 you can acctually chose to not install Cortana and a few other features that didn't use to have an option to avoid them. At least if you install when not connected (take out ethernet cables and deactivate and wi-fi hub) then chose to install with a local account. Still Cortana can sneak back and be installed later along with major updates which is bad.

Can you make a bat file to do all this?

But of course it is not possible to be completely anonymous if you use the internet, mobile phones and so on. I turn off everything also that you can in Windows 10.

Your title is a misnomer. It's impossible to be private in Windows 10. Computer users need to wake up to the tactics and explore alternatives.

I know google has been collecting your private data forever and pushing things down to your box on your cell phone and stuff like that. when you're on the android platform but desktop operating system in my opinion, is excluded you have to realize that your desktop operating system is the platform that use for developing content. it's the platform you use for your most secure data is your platform you use for backups and creating things this is the one safe haven that should be free of spying and malware.

Can you truly disable Cortana without wrecking the OS? Suspending Cortana is a joke, if you watch the process in Task Manager, you can end task and the process and sub-processes will comeback. Watch as is also leaves suspended mode to do who knows what (gather data?) then enter the pretend "suspend mode: again.
