Win10PrivacyFix

Windows 10 is the latest installment of the series of operating systems developed by Microsoft. Although it represents the next step in the evolution of OS, some naysayers point out that the software is used for data leeching and privacy encroachment.

Win10PrivacyFix is a small utility that can be deployed to block data leeching to Microsoft. The program is quick to install, and it is designed to be of use to all types of users.

When you first open the application, you will be prompted to select one of the three built-in presets. Each one offers a degree of protection against privacy breaches. More experienced users can try their hand at tweaking the extensive set of services themselves.

The software offers all of its functionality from one main window. You can deactivate all types of services, defer updates, limit tracking, and protect your data from being funneled to Microsoft. Unfortunately, the interface is not that well designed, and you will be scrolling endlessly to reach a particular service.

All of the available tweaks are organized into separate groups so you will be aware of the importance of each service before you deactivate it. Tips are provided when you hover an item, which can be of great service to less experienced users.

The application offers an extensive array of optimizations, which is both a blessing and a curse. You will have to find your balance between privacy and functionality as the process is one of trial and error.

Win10PrivacyFix is a useful tool for all users who wish to maintain a level of security and data privacy. The software offers extensive individual options and general presets to prevent data leeching.
