ShutUp10

As a software, Windows 10 strives to provide a seamless and effortless experience for its users. However, it must be noted that there is a catch to this enhanced comfort. Windows 10 tends to share your personal information with Microsoft and certain applications without your consent. This includes services such as sharing your keyboard entries, WLAN access data with your Facebook contacts, and connecting your computer to public and potentially unprotected networks without your permission. Although this feature eliminates the need to deal with complex passwords, it also puts your security at considerable risk.

Thankfully, Windows 10 provides a manual option to deactivate most of the privacy-endangering features. However, not all of these options can be found in one place, making it difficult and time-consuming for the average user to find. That is where O&O Software's freeware O&O ShutUp10 comes into play.

This software puts you in full control of which comfort functions of Windows 10 you wish to use and how your data is handled. With a very user-friendly interface, you can decide which unwanted functions should be deactivated, and ShutUp10 even gives you recommendations and tips on how to safeguard your privacy. Moreover, if you ever decide to try Cortana or any other function you previously deactivated, all it takes is a single click to revert your changes.

Overall, O&O ShutUp10 is an excellent software that gives you peace of mind when it comes to your personal information. With its straightforward interface and customizable options, it allows you to keep control over your data and have a better experience while using Windows 10.
