No I've not tried every single "Windows 10 privacy" application because I would have to spend months goes though them all. Maybe I should of said: "I believe setting the options yourself so you know what options you have set" would be better? The "feeling" was more to the fact that if you make the changes yourself you will get to know your machine configuration better.

  How do you know you haven't been re-pwned through updates? Do you try to analyze any encrypted blobs leaving your machine with wireshark, keep a list of recent mothership ips? Do you run updates on a firewalled machine and analyze its behavior to see if it does what it says it does before you deploy on your main? Microsoft privacy violations are a persistent and mutating threat.

    I check the group polices every once in a while (mainly cause I want to see what all the fuss was about) Do I do it on a fire walled machine first? Nope do it on my main gaming machine (Because that's my main windows machine) but I do keep an eye on the traffic that leaves that machine. Just ran a pending update for Windows 10 on that machine so it's now on build 15007.1 (been putting it off as for about a week as insider builds take a while to update) and all my GP's has been maintained, no reinstall of Get Office/Skype Preview though I do have Skype already installed on that install for gaming. I expect MS to abide by the law and respect the privacy settings set in my Windows install just as I expect every other OS/Distro to do the same.
