Instead of opting out of Windows, why not just opt out of the customer experience improvement program? It's not hard. Instead of "yes", choose "no".

- MichaelGG 11y agoSo long as there are clear and working implementations of opt-out, you're right. Recently people were saying that even with the Windows 10 options turned off, Windows was still making connections and even sending data when search was initiated.
- ionised 11y agoOpting out of most of the data collection in Windows 10 at least is incredibly difficult. The options given to you during install and in the OS settings cover only a fraction of that total collection. Perhaps even impossible without setting up some vigorous third party software firewall rules and keeping on top of them to make sure new domains that harvest this data are not added.
