Privacy Protector for Windows 10 helps to cope with privacy problems in this OS. There are numerous services in Windows 10 that collect private user's data of all possible kinds. This software tool helps to solve all Windows 10 privacy issues that violate a right of every user for confidential activity on his PC. The program is oriented both for private users and companies with exclusive standards of data confidentiality.
By means of a simple-to-use interface a Privacy protector user can tune his system to block the unwanted traffic to Microsoft servers. It is possible to delete certain elements of Telemetry and Data Collection system, while the rest is simply disabled. A user is able to act at his own discretion choosing the services for disabling to eliminate specific Windows 10 privacy concerns. There are about 40 services (some of them work on the background) tracking and collecting personal user data. It is possible delete, disable or block the following tools:
• Cortana
• Office Telemetry
• Media Center
• Power Efficiency Diagnostics
• Customer Experience Improvement Program
• Windows Search
These are only a part of services that become manageable with the help of Privacy Protector for Windows 10. It also disables Keylogger that sends all data typed on the keyboard to MS servers (that may also contain credit card numbers, passwords, personal details, etc.). To prevent the appearance of new unwanted crawlers and Windows 10 privacy spies, the program allows to disable Windows Update. This feature is also available for Windows ver. 7-8. The program blocks Microsoft IP addresses and helps to add rules for them in Windows Firewall.
The most of spying programs work in the background, consuming a decent part of available system resources. That is why disabling will not only provide you proper privacy, but will also improve your system performance. Privacy Protector for Windows 10 always creates a system restore point before establishing any changes to roll back if needed

    You can do this all for free with O&O Shutup 10, which has always been free.

      Wow, that is pretty cool. Runs as an .exe, no install required.
      Thanks

        Yeah I've been using Shutup 10 for ages, can't recommend it enough. You can turn off all sorts of stuff. You'll notice that Microsoft re-enable things like telemetry after doing updates so you occasionally need to go in and check they are turned off still. The software detects any changes and can fix with one click.

        Telemetry basically sends Microsoft a list of everything you have installed, when you've used it, unique identifiers, etc. Evil.

    Doesn't the free Windows 10 debloater script do much the same? I'm just dubious over anything which is 'free' and promises to improve my privacy/etc.

      I watched Jay (2cents) use it on YT, seems like a useful tool, will try it once my new pc is up and running.

    You could also consider running Ubuntu Linux depending on what you do with your computer. Very mature desktop operating system these days. You can also run as a live CD to try it out. That's definitely privacy protecting.

      Plus quite an upgrade when it comes to memory management, stability, performance, etc.
      It's unfortunate that some software packages people rely on (eg: Adobe suite, MS office, etc.) are unavailable on Linux. If those were available, there'll be very few windows users…

        Totally. Linux graphics drivers are supposedly faster than Windows for gaming. As in, the same Steam game on the same machine runs at a fair bit higher FPS in Linux.

        I'm not a libreoffice fan but it works, some love it though because they like the old fashion non-ribbon interface.

        I run Solus Linux on my Surface Pro 4 and it boots wayyyyy faster than Windows. Literally about 3 seconds from the boot menu to a desktop ready to go. Unfortunately being a Microsoft unit, the touch screen no work and wireless driver doesn't work after waking from sleep. But on my Lenovo Yoga, I run Gentoo all day every day, all drivers incl touch screen work great.

          LibreOffice has also had a ribbon toolbar interface as am option for some time now. Go to View -> User Interface ( I think!) There are about 6 options for how you want the Toolbar configured, and you can customise it on a more granular level as well once you've chosen the higher level toolbar option.

          The new 5.8 kernel is out with many new device drivers, though it hasn't filtered down to every distro yet, but it may support your Surface Pro a bit better. Search for your version of Linux and there are instructions on how to install it.
