There wont be, you acknowledge and agree when installing windows or when you start windows on a brand new device. It is like with Facebook: you can upload photos and share with friends and family BUT when you signed up for Facebook, you actually agreed that your photos will now belong to Facebook and that they can use your photos without your consent. Or when you use the Facebook app on your Android smartphone and agree to the terms and conditions: The app can use your camera and microphone WITHOUT your say so. It is all in the print that we all agree to when first installing or using said software/platforms or devices.

Another thing to be careful of: some companies with Android software will turn permissions back on during an automatic update. Companies love to come out with a new privacy policy update saying "by continuing to use service you agree to..." and turning everything back on at update time. Edit: thanks for the 1k likes

Recently saw a video about why some still use Windows XP. While I don't use it anymore the reason I still think dearly of it is because I felt like I OWNED my pc. Not long ago went looking for some files I had in my windows xp and booted that system. There were only 10 processes running and I knew exactly what each of those were. It was a system I knew the ins and outs, configured to my liking and felt in control of it. Now, a brand new windows computer will have about 200 processes running and even more services, before you even install anything, and a lot of those are things I don't want running on my pc. New windows feel like buying a new car and the first thing you say when you sit on it "I HATE THIS" , then work on configuring, removing all stuff I don't care and don't want, just so I hate it a little less and windows reinstalling a lot of that crap on the next update. If I own a pc I want to be the one installing new software on it, because I have an use for it, I dont want someone else installing whatever software they want, but this is the experience windows gives you, then they collect and sell your data profiting from you just using "your" computer and on top of that make you pay for it.

A good follow up later is to see if a future windows update enables all these features again like they usually do. Microdot just loves to enable those registry keys and group police’s again without telling you. Not to mention change the keys so the program won’t work and you’ll have to wait for a new disable tool.

Your surround sound recording is excellent, I looked out my window to see what the swoosh noise was. 0:15

I will say this. Log collection is very useful if you know where and what to look at and how to utilize the info and the search/filters. If you use your system as a server or NAS of sorts and have ever realized your system is offline. The logs can be very helpful in figuring out why that happened. If a power failure, update, or system crash occurred. The logs will usually state such things along with pertinent info as to what caused the issue. It may not solve your problems, but it can definitely help make it easier and quicker to do so. Especially if you want to avoid any foolish errands!

Thank you @The PC Security Channel for all your help.

Love this. I remember when we could go into the ports and shut down all unneeded ports to strangle connections we didn't want. I have windows 2000 running still and it's locked down to the max.

Excelent video. My cooler was buzzing very bad because the cpu was up to 100% in many cases. Now it did stop, I have silence again (I used O&O)

Glad the algorithm suggested this video. I need to run O&O on all my PCs now.

Could you do an analysis on system overhead for the different antivirus ? As in, how much resources do they use, because sometimes you want to run them on machines with limited resources or on PCs where performance matters (eg. gaming PCs). Also, I noticed you included links to the tools you described in the video, which is great. It was not always the case for previous videos, and as downloading things from the internet may be unsafe it is good to have the proper links.

Just thank you for your work!!!

I use O&O shutup on my PC in conjunction with Adguard Home running on a VM. Solid results with custom lists!

Thanks for the security info. I will refer back to this for reference. Excellent how to.

Awesome video. But if you make all the changes under local machine do you have to go back and switch these settings for current user too?

You know what would be interesting? Doing this same telemetry leakage analysis on a properly installed copy of Windows Ameliorated Edition. Install properly, fully offline, complete the amelioration process, then use O&O ShutUp10 and Spybot Anti-beacon, then wireshark the traffic upon first being brought online. There's so much of Windows guts ripped out on Windows AME such as Defender, Cortana, Edge, Update, that it would be fascinating to see how effective this process is at removing / limiting Microsoft's spyware activities.

Great video! You have a few videos on how to disable aspects of telemetry on windows 11. Would you by chance have a recommendation / best video / most current for a completely new windows 11 user to use?

WOW SPOT ON . GREAT . I WILL LOOK INTO IT

It would be nice to have a list of the GPO’s so we could do it across a environment.

Hey what about Safing Portmaster? It's an incredibly useful application firewall that has options for blocking telemetry/spyware domains etc

Some of the largest companies like Avast, Fortinet etc, yes, even Microsoft, have had serious security problems. Remember WannaCry autoinstalling through the network (that was all Microsoft SMB).

so if you have already set a lot of these thing up manually in the group policy editor, registry and windows setting will toggling those switches to on then back off undo the changes you made manually? will this software settings persist threw updates?

Thank you for this

No one should be running Pro/Home even with this privacy tweak. All people should run Windows 10 LTSB/LTSC or server editions (but this comes with some issues), you should make a video about it! You can try it legally for free if I'm not mistaken

You mean all people should be running free and open-source software. Then all the software would be written for it too, and the addicts could still play their video games without being taken advantage of. Spy ware wouldn't be the norm. We won't be ending up in a social credit system. Ah ... the possibilities.

Be careful with 0&0 Shutup. It can stop things like gaming (games bought through windows store like forza) and the windows shop if you use them. Attempting to use 0&0 to revert back to defaults sometimes doesnt work (as in my case) which meant I had to reset windows (10).

could you compare windows 10 to more versions of windows (and windows 11) such as vista or 7? would like to see the progression of all this

Try checking back after windows updates, you can save the settings and just restore them after updates.

these shutup settings marked "yes" are just normal windows settings. "disable tracking on web " for Edge as example just means enabling Do not track request which website can just ignore and it is not even meant to stop MS tracking you

And of course everything will be re-enabled on the next patch. Two choices to avoid the spyware. 1. Use an older windows (windws 7 comes to mind). or dump windows.

Not really, Group policy and registry tweaks aren’t reversed in every update. Even if a major update does re-enable them you can use the config file to fix it in like 2 seconds.

The problem is, If you run a Ryzen, Windows 7 won't do much. When I upgraded my Rig to a Ryzen, Windows 7 started to BSOD. Even a fresh install would work, but on the next reboot BSOD. If this wasn't an issue, I wouldn't use WIndows 10.
