Windows 10: Privacy Settings to Stop Microsoft Spying
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- Here's how to turn off as much Windows 10 data collection as possible. It's best if you use a Local account instead of a Microsoft Live account, but that disables some big features.

Hope you guys find this helpful. I'll be looking forward to hearing what you all think.
***** Thanks man !!
*****
Step #1: Do not install Windows 10.
Done.
***** Now the how to for a rufus bootable usb and you'r all done ;-) :-)
***** best way to fix windows is use linux like a normal person.
In your outro you said you make 3 videos a week... wait illuminati has 3 sides... you also said have a good one... illuminati has one eye... coincedence... I THINK NOT!!!!!
Having a private life is near impossible these days.
***** Disconnect from the internet and you should be fine. Snail mail like in the olden days, remembering bus schedules with your actual brain, writing papers with a pencil... yeah, it is unsettling how fast things change these days.
If you want a private life live in an isolation chamber
Yash Budhiraja
Does private exclude social?
A private life doesn't exclude technology necessarily.
I don't get it. People are scared of what the can't see (damn that's deep) Why don't people just ignore the fact and about the NSA they only want the info if there is suspicion about you. Also the NSA probably already know about you anyway
Want privacy? Want a transparent and a open system? Want true security? Get Linux!
- - Linux is such a pain, in my opinion
***** so is turning all these settings "off". even then at this time of writing, they don't really turn anything off. Data is still being sent back home to Microsoft. By that point, is it even more useful than previous versions of Windows, let alone Linux (thats a whole other can of worms for a whole different day)?
- - Eww no thanks. Too much of a hassle
- - linux is by far the best, unfortunately for a gaming PC its not quite there yet
+ThioJoeTech Linux is hardly a pain nowadays, if it's confusing for you then I pity your weak ass fucking brain but my parents can even use it without a problem.
Windows 10 is the biggest trojan horse ever created and it's free:)
Omg the new youtube interface is so cool!
Nissan U. yes it looks so cool :D
Nissan U. It looks more like the player in the Android app now, and it's much more pleasant to look at to be honest.
Nissan U. It's great!
Andrew This UI was here a few months ago and then it went away until now.
i saw this UI on a website before and now its offical on yt :D
Great video. I was very diligent about disabling almost everything they showed during the installation (in custom settings), but was shocked to find so many things you showed here that were enabled anyway, without any prompt for consent during installation. Thank you for the concise rundown!
Thanks Joe, for someone like me who does not know the ins and outs of this type of info you are really a big help.
So there is really nothing "Free" about windows 10...
Crestoify Of course not. How do you think they would make money from Win10? In our world nothing comes for free...there's alsways a compromise
和ァ独 Two Words:
Fucking Ads!
Crestoify
Yeah, but thanks to AdBlocker you can now decide to whom you allow to get money from that and which company doesn't deserve it. At least on the web. I only deactivate AdBLocker for smaller companies and people I really really like and who make good content.
Yep, that's exactly how I use it
Anyway I think Microsoft made Windows 10 to get as much info as possible about people
and to make a whole bunch of money by ads
That's what I meant bro
Lol
Fantastic work covering these settings. Microsoft is just one of many companies tracking you, and we'd love to be able to assist you with covering how search engines collect and target their users.
Good video, I customized the settings during install turning most of them off, but this video shows a few extra ones lying around that most people probably want off. thumbs up.
Unplugging from the internet works too.
***** If you comment on youtube, people might spy on your comments.
Doug I don't even know what to answer to this. Why does this makes me 12?
+foufoufun0 intel processors can use 3g internet. you don't see hardware backdoors.
holzi My point was that if you're going to be so paranoid about using your computer, you're better off to just unplug the internet or simply not use Windows.
+foufoufun0 Remember TOR browser works too! : )
Thank you very much for this video. I was waiting to upgrade to windows 10 until I found out how to disable all this data mining settings. Thanks!
Great video man, love your windows 10 videos so far!
thank you, this is so much simpler and easier to comprehend than jargon I am not familiar with. very helpful.
Thanks for the video Thio... I have just bought a used laptop with 8.1 and want to upgrade it to the Windows 10 via the link in the taskbar... Will I be able to do this even though the 8.1 wasn't originally registered by me? If I can I will then follow your advise.
so wait i have cortana disabled in microsoft account so should i keep it that way or should i just make a local account and set everything up there
thanks so much for sharing this. I have saved it and will be applying this!!!
Every time i getting to settings in my PC i just have the sign of the settings and then after 1 min it's close down by him self some have a fix???
Hey man, thanks for all the Windows 10 info! I probably going to update soon, this is really going to help me out when doing so. Esspecially now that I know I can just use a local account and turn cortana completely off.
Any of this won't prevent MS from spying on you, most of the things you turned off is just stuff that helps MS to make improvements the their OS. If they want to spy on you they are going to do it regardless of what privacy settings you have.
There is only one way to make sure that no one is spying on you and that is to stop using the Internet altogether.
Hi Joe! I always look forward to your videos :) I learn a lot from you! Got a question about something I can't figure out...How do I turn off data usage?
Under settings "Network & Internet" then- Data Usage
Microsoft keeps track of how much data I download (30 days worth) via wifi and Ethernet and I really don't want that! Any help is appreciated! thanks!
Thanks ThioJoe! very helpful and thorough instructions.
I should have found out about u sooner. Those simple tips helped me remove window`s annoying family filter block.Thank You
Is it true that after windows made an update you have to re apply all these choices again?
now can you help, I have some corrupted archives, I have avast and do a boot -time scan and these come up and I do a registry scan and get a lot of reg error, I have dell inspiron with windows 10.
I'm not sure if this is something I turned on in privacy but now with windows 10 WiFi networks won't show up. Can you help?
What about speech inking and typing if one wants to use speech recognition system in games? like with voice attack?
thank you for helping . i was really needed this info.
Thanks so much! i used all of your tips :)
I really like your info, keep it up man, good job..
So does your computer run faster if it's on a local or microsoft account?
I have a problem with my windows 10
I day after my install of it.
the appstore is missing from my windows 10 I searched it everywhere wasn't able to find it
sooo any solutions for it
and yes even the search bar ont work at all
its a bug I know but for store everyone else is having that sooo....
Great video! Added to favorites for when I get w10. :)
Very helpful, i subbed! Thanks!
pls i need help. i accidentally pressed esc in the middle of win10 upgrade then it went back to win7. the 'get windows 10' app is gone so i went to control panel and check for updates. when i clicked install, it keeps on telling me that my win7 is not activated and needs product key. i checked the computer properties then it said that i only have 30 days to activate. WHAT SHOULD I DO? PLS HELP ME.. PLSSSSS :(
Your privacy video was great. Are you able to post one on why Windows 10 doesn't recognise an ipod??
+Pinkone Because it's not a microsoft product?
is this sopos to helps ram because my ram gos to red so time or oring
good summarization! thanks for your efforts.
Is there ANY way to disconnect my Microsoft account from Windows 10, WITHOUT losing my files?? I accidentally signed into a microsoft account to provide feedback, and it was a trap, now my account is linked to my pc user profile but i only wanted to use a local user account. I am trying to avoid having to manually back up all my files and do a system restore as i have 5 TB's of data and that is a nightmare...
I just found out about Microsoft family features.... I was on my parents email to verify something, and found out they can see all my activity, what apps I use, and my history, any help?
Is anyone really convinced that those on/off switches are actually on/off switches? Does anyone have proof that those actually disable anything?
I know, I know, I'm being insanely paranoid, but I'm seriously considering Linux Mint instead of Win10.
Can you show us which folders to delete if we didn't clean install. Folders and files from old windows that is. Thanks
Dylan G Microsoft will delete those folders in a month after you upgrade.
What's MS's whole IP range, and its data collecting partners' IP ranges? It kinda looks like blocking them with a hosts file is easier.
Becareful! i tried the free upgrade and when W10 was installed and ready to use i found some of my video and pic files missing, is SLOW as hell even with the recommended settings and the worst of it is that all your new files are sent to some "server" with out you knowing it, just like the other day my pc was unplugged and not connected to internet and i wanted to play a several videos i had and the windows player played them with no image nor sound, and before that i got a message that said that the server failed to load file? WHAT? do i really need to be connected to the web just to see my own videos? that's BS, i'm pretty sure they're sending all files to NSA servers, and they only give you a month to go back to your previous OS, what a scam! sorry but i had to go back to my w7 instead, that w10 ain't worth a penny, security and privacy are major concerns to me, anyway good luck
+von volts And why would you be scared if the NSA sees your videos from your PC? Do you have videos they can land you in prison?
Thanks a lot Joe this really helped a lot but while I was doing it I had a problem now my internets is downloading four times as fast and I think my monitor accidentally changed to 8K resolution please help?
Sir please suggest me a software or a method by which I can delete my files from wondershare recoverit data recovery/ recuva or any 3rd party free software. I don't want to have the files longer. So how can I crush/delete those files? PLEASE HELP ME WITHIN TODAY!
Hello thiotech.
My computer is acer aspire v5 touch and when i downloaded it. I didnt have cortana. I tryed and go to settings and fix it but it didnt work.
i've do it
I still find it odd how many people think it is weird that MS wants info about you, I mean I don't mind, this will let them actually make and advertises things I want to see. And hopefully fewer penis enhancements adds and random real estate sales. >.>
nsa payed them. obvious
Naouta Would you be fine with someone watching you while you shower?
KyuuKyuuu Kun Collecting name and location data =/= sexually harassing and spying on you whilst you bathe yourself. It's really not comparable and you're reaching a bit too far honestly. I know its fun to joke about the NSA and such but honestly, most people seem to think they're actually important to the government when in reality the government doesn't give a shit about you. Unless you're a kingpin of some tax fraud organization or some shit, nobody really cares what you do. Micro$oft just wants more money and more ways to advertise to you.
Solaire A bit too far? Do you even know how much any intelligence agency can find out about you with the data that will be collected through Microsoft? Combine that with data from social network pages, personal pictures/videos etc. you only want to share with your friends and they'll be able to track you down wherever you are with the metadata they can create. It's a shame that nowadays no one will get around giving away all these information and in the future it will be mandatory for everyone who wants to keep up with society.
Now about what you said that NSA & the government won't care about you, that's right. As long as you're no target. And how do you become a target? Well, either you're suspicous through your actions or you're famous and have a lot of money. In both ways, who will guarantee you that your data is not going to be used against you? That hackers steal it and threaten you or your family? With that kind of technology and conecctivity there are new questions we should ask ourselves. If people share their life more and more online it's eventually going to get more ciminals in the world wide web, too. And how will you fight crime then ifyou come back from vacation and your house has been broken into with your valuables having been stolen and there's no trace of the ciminals whatsoever because they used the same data as your government uses. And now imagine that on a huge scale. Cyber gangs that collect data about when people will go on vacation in a certain area and a mass break in following. That's maybe an extreme example but it shows what huge potential there is to misuse all the data you let the government collect about you.
和ァ独 Firstly Great comment, and well structured.
Ok now as far as the government knowing about you, they do from the moment you are born into the world they know about you. when ever you pay taxes they know about you, and none of that kind of information is all that hard to get for a "Hacker" anyways. I'm not saying go plaster all your info on the net, but just play smart about where you use it and most of the time you are good. And if you are on the governments radar for being suspicious you prob are on there for good reason. i"m not here to justify or defend the NSA, but what they do is needed no matter what people think, tho it needs to be better regulated by people who know more about Targeted information accusation, rather than mass hauling info from millions of people where most is just fluff of random pic's of things we think could be a bomb but is actually a science fair project. My home being broken into with data collection? Ya don't need to look hard to find my place and it looks like i have stuff in here, so i don't play a fool, I got it all insured and have cameras on a independent power source with battery back up and 4g streaming Via my Cell app. It is monitored by a security company 24/7 for all out side cameras and all entrance cameras. other than doing paper work on it and it taking some time to get new stuff in, I'm not worrying. But people Without this level of protection have some grounds to fear. But how often dose something like this really ever happen? The idea that the information windows or the NSA gathers on you will be used to track and assist break ins is total scare tactics employed by media. you are far more likely to have some random asshole break into your house than any cyber thief. Hell it happened to me back when i lived in a tiny little house that was 50 ft from a major road with constant traffic all day long, my place looked like a little shit hole with all the bushes grown high up around it. it was also old as sin dating at least 50years. but sure enough some one broke into a place that looked like it was abandoned on a busy street with neighbors on both sides who had clear view of the house in broad daylight, and stole my game systems. At that point i did not have a Facebook, i did not snap chat or tweet, I didn't even use my house address for any documentation, and it still happened to me. And at the time i barley had anything of value, a PS3 and an Xbox 360, that was it. Oh and some crappy 480p TV. so yeah just because it can happen doesn't mean it will, but just because it might not happen doesn't mean you should tempt fate, Upgrading to windows 10 if everyone's choice till 2035 i believe. if someone doesn't want to they don't have too. but the day and age we live in requires that we provide info to get full effect. Don't be that old guy at the cash reg. still passing off checks because "I don't trust banks with my information". Or people who wont use paypal because "paypal might steal all my money". Let be real about this stuff at least. It really isn't all that bad guys, and a lot you can turn off easy, and with a little work you can turn it all off.
Helpful video! THANK YOU!
Has anyone figure out how to get rid of the 'Dialog Box' in M.S. Word in Office 365 for the 'Your Privacy Option' that doesn't seem to have a way to get rid of it? (Not even the 'Esc' key works)

Thanks for sharing this video, very helpful..
When I click network / wi fi, I get an overview screen and nothing lists wi fi. It has Data Usage, VPN Dial-up, Ethernet, Proxy. I keep clicking around and can't locate the screen you pulled up at the 5:00 mark. Maybe it's because I am on a desktop and not laptop?
Are you using LAN ?
Good video...thanks for sharing these tips
Thanks for the tut. My consideration of windows 10 upped a fair bit
will the bit locker work with windows 10
Turn off the Diagnostics Policy Service if you don’t need it. Also if you have like a network problem maybe try use Full diagnostics in settings that will probably let it get more data and help better.

Thio i really need your help bro...After i installed Windows 10 on my Packard bell laptop, my mouse pad did not work. I thought it was the mouse-lock function, but it was not. I hoped it would be automatically be fixed by the Windows 10 upgrades, but it didn't, until today. I use an external mouse in order to operate my laptop. I need you to help me fix my mouse pad, thank you.
Should i get windows 10 now or should i wait
Found this vid extremely useful learnt a lot here. I was play a casino site last night when a Microsoft pop-up came up in the right corner of my screen talking about 'Great deals'. I shut it down, which then disrupted my gaming. Can I stop this from happening again? Thank you. Chris.
The funny thing they could have implemented pretty much every feature including most of Cortana's functionality without all the privacy invasion.
Thank you Sir Joe ^_^ very educational!
how do you make windows 10 recognize your second monitor or projector?
Where did you get this wallpaper?
Is this something I would do if I WANTED to use a Microsoft account instead of a local account?
Is it possible to turn off windows update in windows 10 ?
wheres the video to make a admin privilege account? can I do that when I use a Local account and encrypt my password?
I installed Windows 10 today, and I'm having this problem where almost everything's size i displaying incorrectly. I installed Adobe Creative Cloud and everything is in like size 6 and 7 fount. I installed Photoshop from it, opened it, and everything is huge. Like, only half the toolbar is displaying. This is happening with a lot of things, and I thought it was my screen resalotion but that's all correct. are these just bugs or is there a way i can fix this?
***** That seems right, it is definitely noisy, but my brightness does adjust fine. What do I need to do to get/fix the display driver?
***** Thank you for your help!
Nathan B please give it a try to find manual updates for your hardware, for nvidia/AMD do go directly to the site
Nathan B I had 2 monitors, i shutdown my PC unplug my second one start the PC up connect the second one then restart the PC and this was fixed for me.
You should get the right video graphics driver for your pc or laptop. to avoid screen enlargement view.
Is there any news on when the Windows 10 clean installs will be activated? I read somewhere that Microsoft is having trouble with the servers that handle that, but otherwise I can't seem to find any information about the subject.
Apparently the un-activated Windows 10 will work for 30 days, so there isn't much of a rush, except that I don't want to spend time installing all of my programs just to have to format again and install Windows 7 or 8 and do another upgrade.
can you make a video on how to cloan a hard drive windows and mac would appreciate it
Great work Joe
I saw that clause in the terms and conditions and declined immediately, and deleted the update from the computer. I'm sticking with 8.1 as long as I can.
Thanks Joe, good info as usual.
Seoirse
Thanks ThioJoe! :)
Another things you should turn off is go to Windows Updates, Advance Option, Chose How Update Are Deliver and turn off Update from more than one place. This is on by Default and it will let other user connect to your Internet and use your Bandwidth. Microsoft are doing this so they don't have to spend so much money on Bandwidth delivering update and its on by Default. Not many user know about this.
this site is somehow down ( ad preferences) why?
How thorough is this guide? How much privacy, if any, is still being compromised if I follow it?
thanks for your help thiojoe
Thanks man for that video helped allot.
was wondering ppl who have windows 10 is their text blurry? if it is and you fixed it please tell me how >_
How can I use the store using a local account?
when I upgrade to Windows 10, I can't find my wireless network but when I go back to 8.1 I can. can anybody help?
Nice, thanks for the help.
Thanks , helped alot :)

Thanks, Last time When i had my old pc i had a virus and i was trying to fix it and it took a picture of me. I was not happy with that.
Thank you!
Awesome. Thank you!
This was helpful, and hopefully puts people at ease. The Wifi password sharing is freaking people out for some reason.
Can you do a video showing how to enable Cortana?
