General Windows 10 Security (Must Read)

[Klepto 7.8k]

If you've recently updated to Windows 10, or you're planning to do so, you might want to read this.

 

If you haven't noticed, Windows 10 is doing some things without you knowing about it. (Using your information for apps and whatnot) 

So to fix that, just follow my steps. 

 

1. Click on the Start button and head over to Settings

2. Click on Privacy

3.Go through every single tab and disable pretty much everything

(I disabled everything. You disable to your liking)

 

That's pretty much it.. However, it would also be a good idea to change your account to a local account instead. That way, you don't need to sign in with your Microsoft account.

 

To do so:

1. Settings

2. Accounts

3. Your Account

4. Select Sign in with a local account instead

 

 

This was already posted on Reddit, but maybe not all of you go to Reddit so it's nice knowing these things.

If you didn't know, all the settings are to improve Cortana's functionality. Apple is doing the same in iOS 9 with Proactive

I knew I was missing something.

 

Disable Cortana too

Thanks for the heads up . Is there anyway to switch off the auto-update feature in windows 10?
