Turn off privacy settings in Windows 10
We know that many people are extremely sensitive about their privacy. Today’s tip is to turn off all the privacy settings in Windows 10. In order operating systems, we did not have to worry about our privacy because there was no internet, and there was no way to collect our information. Now days, companies are collecting our usage data (like things that you search for internet) for better computing for future. All the advertising you see and recommendations by apps, these are probably based on your usage information. If we stop these automatic usage collection, you may not get related help or recommendations by apps, but your computer won’t collect your usage data. Let’s do it.
So many privacy settings are turned on by default in Windows 10 …
We were surprised that there are so many different privacy settings in Windows 10, and they are all turned on ! To turn off, go to “Settings” -> “Privacy“. Here you will see variety of privacy options, and it is up to you which one to turn off. Read the help, and if you do not like it, then you can turn it off.
Click the Windows Start button and there is the Settings
In the Settings, find and click “Privacy”
Here you can find all the privacy related options
Left side menu shows you variety of privacy options, right side panel shows settings you can switch on or off
If you find anything that you do not want, you can just turn off the privacy option
If you turn off options like “Let apps use camera … or location ..” some apps will not work properly because it has no access to it. (for example, if you do not allow an app a camera access, the app cannot use your computer’s cam which can cause inconvenience when you are using the app. It’s like Skype cannot use your computer cam for video call) We wish that this blog post was helpful. 😀 😀 😀
Thank you.
