Take back control of your privacy
Disable Telemetry | Services, Registry, Tasks, and Group Policy
With data breaches and malware infections on the rise, it’s more important than ever to take your data privacy seriously. Without adequate protection, you’re leaking data about yourself to every website you visit and app you install, even to Microsoft itself, thanks to the Windows 10 telemetry system.
As part of the effort to help improve the Windows 10 user experience, Microsoft records data about the apps and features you use, your system information, your system settings, and more. If you're concerned about this data being shared, you can disable Windows 10 telemetry by following these steps.
Windows 10 isn’t the first Windows release to collect and share system data with itself, but Microsoft has certainly increased the amount of data it collects and shares in this release. Telemetry, as the practice is called, is how Microsoft does this.
