O&O ShutUp10++

O&O ShutUp10++ is an advanced settings customization app for Windows 10 and Windows 11. With it, you can activate and deactivate system functions with nothing more than a click. All the functions are organized into the following categories: Privacy, Activity History and Clipboard, App Privacy, Security, Edge, Office, Windows Settings Synchronization, Cortana, Location Services, User Behavior, Windows Update, Explorer, Defender, Lock Screen, and Miscellaneous.

Under Privacy, you can disable ad ID, suggestions, biometric options, and sending error data to Microsoft. You can also disable access to the camera, microphone, activity tracking on apps, and basically all the functions with which an app can violate your privacy.

In Activity History and Clipboard, you can disable the logging of things you copy and paste. In Security, you can disable telemetry on Windows, so Microsoft can't collect data on your activity on the operating system.

If you don't want Windows to update, you can completely disable Windows Update. However, this option is not recommended, as your computer could be exposed to unpatched vulnerabilities.

All options have a detailed description of what each function does, as well as whether it's advisable to disable it or not. You can also back up your computer in case something goes wrong. In short, if you want to deactivate specific Windows settings, don't hesitate to download O&O ShutUp10++.
