Enterprise windows is probably much, much better than the retail version in that admins have an incredible amount of control through GPOs and the like, including turning off many features that we dislike. That does not mean that it doesnt require a lot of work. And, we the little guys still get stuck with the retail version that makes it difficult to turn all of these options off in a central location with clear settings.
- scholia 10y agoYes, they are much better and yes, you control things via GPOs. See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt577208%28v=vs.85%29.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt577208%28v=vs.... > retail version that makes it difficult to turn all of these options off in a central location with clear settings. Just type privacy in the search box and go to the central location that has very clear settings. It's called "Privacy settings". It takes a minute or two, but it's not actually hard. (I'm now sorry I didn't time myself doing it.) It also provides excellent control over which apps can use your camera and microphone, and you can block all of them. You can go to "Speech, inking and typing" and click the button that says "Stop getting to know me" to turn off personalization. That page also has a link to privacy statements and a link to take you to Bing where you can delete any personalization info that has already been stored. It looks pretty clear to me. I'd also be interested if you can explain how this is any harder in Windows 10 than it is in Android or iOS.
