Each of the released versions of Microsoft Windows is not perfect, this is the fact that can be accepted by the public. But the behavior of Windows 10 started to insanely stealing its users' privacy info (euphemistically called: data mining) has been deeply embedded into the every process of the whole system operation, while this is unbearable for any senior Windows users. So we have to resort to some third-party applications to protect the security of our digital privacy.
O&O ShutUp10 is a free and single portable anti-listening/spying tool specially designed for Windows 10, developed by O&O Software from Germany. It has tiny file size (less than 1 MB), intuitive and clear user interface, and good usability. All the system parameter settings (such as: system synchronization, telemetry, localization detection, app access to your personal information and data, Windows Update preferences, SpyNet, Windows Defender, and more privacy and security settings) provided in this software can be changed simply by using a switcher. If you are not sure which settings should be adjusted, just use the recommended ones.
In brief, O&O ShutUp10 this tiny app enables you to fully master various privacy controls of Windows 10. At least, you will be able to turn off those unwanted or unnecessary privacy collection options and functions with one click. BTW, Cortana is an intelligent, front-end spy program that Microsoft implanted into Windows 10, which most direct contacts with you and is not easy to come under suspicion. Therefore, in AppNee's opinion, getting rid of Cortana is the first thing to do before using Windows 10.
