Whether you want to safeguard your privacy by turning off certain Windows services, manage your firewall, or remove unwanted applications, WPD (short for Windows Privacy Dashboard) is the tool for you. It proves to be a simple yet effective system tweaker, enabling and disabling system settings seamlessly on Windows 7 and higher versions.

WPD is a powerful tool designed to help users manage their privacy settings on Windows. It allows users to control various aspects of their data privacy, including telemetry settings, location tracking, and app permissions, ensuring a more secure computing experience. It enables users to easily navigate through their privacy options, making it simpler to understand what data is being collected and how it is used.

WPD features a sleek and friendly user interface that offers straightforward options for customizing your computer, whether you're using Windows 7 or 11. Upon startup, the main app menu appears, giving you quick access to privacy settings, firewall configurations, options to uninstall apps, and many other adjustments.

Regarding privacy, you have the ability to turn off the steps recorder, advertising ID, search companion, telemetry, Windows Error Reporting, handwriting auto-learning, OneDrive (for file storage), and more. Some options may appear confusing, but WPD provides tooltips with descriptions next to each feature, so you won't need to search for definitions online. Alternatively, you can disable all listed options with a single click.

For firewall settings, WPD allows you to block Windows telemetry, third-party applications, and Windows Updates from accessing the Internet. Even better, if you change your mind some day, reverting these settings to default is as simple as deleting the newly created rules.

WPD can uninstall Modern UI apps, whether they were included with the operating system or installed separately. Additionally, it offers options to hide sync provider notifications, allow the swap file to be cleared during restarts, and prevent apps from accessing your camera, microphone, and other devices.
