During Windows setup many of these settings are pre-configured and in many cases it remains unclear to what extent Windows 10 will send out usage data.
Windows 10 offers many comfort features such as the virtual assistant Cortana that can make everyday life easier for you. To make this possible, Windows 10 has to collect huge amounts of data. It also analyzes user profiles to display user-tailored ads as Microsoft openly acknowledges. So by default, Windows 10 is set to collect more data than many users would allow. Even the recommended express installation later states that: If you don't want a particular setting you'll have to disable it yourself.
Do you really want to allow Windows 10 to access your calendar, emails, your location and many other settings? With Ashampoo AntiSpy for Windows® 10, you decide! Access all of your settings with ease.
Ashampoo AntiSpy for Windows® 10 gives you an overview of all critical system settings and allows you to disable each one at the click of a button. Two included presets allow you to disable any reporting to Microsoft or rely on recommendations by our security experts.

How Microsoft collects data
As long as Windows 10 is running with default settings, numerous services collect data about program usage, occurring errors or personal user interests. This data facilitates comfort features like Cortana (whether you use it or not) and provides Microsoft with error reports but also enables highly personalized ads. Many consider this a privacy threat and feel spied upon by their PCs.
Stop other software from snooping
Ashampoo® AntiSpy Pro can do more that just end the data collection in Windows. Many other programs are more nosy than you would like! Silence anti-virus solutions or software pre-installed by the manufacturer of your PC! AntiSpy also covers analytics software, like Google Analytics, or the many helper programs pre-installed by hardware manufacturers that are not part of the operating system. Even browsers and graphic cards collect usage data without your intervention! And don't forget the all too chatty Office suite!
Teach your PC the value of discretion
