You meant wasn't so bad (Win7). The Win10 privacy issues are a showstopper on desktop.

  IIRC, nearly all of that behavior can be disabled during installation (so before any user activity exists). And if you're talking about backdoors/hidden privacy behavior, there's been a risk of that since Windows 95. I think that the defaults of Win10 are bad, but it's not all as bad as the FUD that's floating around.

    Nearly is not nearly good enough.

    That behavior that you set will be reset back to defaults with the next update. Thanks, but I have better things to do with my time than chasing settings in the system, whose vendor does not respect my choices.

    The worst features can only be disabled on Enterprise editions of Windows. That is not the attitude I want in the most important piece of software on my computer.

      Does the registry tweak not disable Telemetry?
