I appreciate the effort by Michael Pietroforte - this is a tremendous resource for Windows users concerned about privacy. I hope that the work here is kept up-to-date.

I have nothing but bad things to say about Microsoft and Windows 10 but will save it for a more appropriate time. I don't want to diminish the work here in any way.

Note: The page states that the "document is not about Windows 10 Home", which implies that there may be even more privacy tweaks not covered by this already extensive document. I think that it should also state that an update may reset one or more of these tweaks[1].

Note2: I wonder if autoit/autohotkey (with proper errorlevel-checking) could be utilized to periodically go through a list like this to insure the changes remain intact? Possibly report changes as it re-applies the privacy toggles.

> Note1

Group policy editor (gpedit.exe) is not available on cheaper home edition of Windows. You either need to upgrade to professional version or use tweaks to somehow run gpedit.exe in home version.

> Note 2

Updates will not mess with settings changed by gpedit.exe . Though one can write powershell scripts to toggle all these settings. It is already in practice by IT Admins.

PS:

Avoid third shady party executables.
