Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: ShutUp10++ is praised for its regular updates and effectiveness in managing Windows 10 features such as disabling OneDrive, but users express concern about its ability to fully block telemetry data sent to Microsoft. While some comments highlight its usefulness and trustworthiness as a tool developed by a reputable company, others point out limitations, questioning its open-source status and ability to protect privacy comprehensively.

Seems to work but it misses the mark. Would put my mind at ease if it were open source. I don't wanna trade Win10 malware for different malware.

Definitely doesn't block telemetry (anymore?), which means it also possibly re-enables telemetry disabled by other anti-spy programs. Should come as no surprise as O&O has become a Microsoft Gold Partner.

On to W10Privacy...

It basically corrupts your Windows 10 install because most of your settings in the default Windows settings app become locked (it'll say "some of these settings are hidden or managed by your organization") after just running it. There's no "Click Apply to apply these settings", which is odd for a program that has destructive behavior. As soon as you touch one toggle, it applies all of the preselected options without a real warning (which include the ones that block your ability to change Windows settings like normal). It also offers to make a restore point for you, but it didn't actually make one for me.

It is a controversial program, definitely not created for privacy protection. Like, it recommends disabling pretty neutral features, i.e. clipboard history, but something hostile like sending URLs opening with apps to Microsoft is marked as "not recommended to disable". WTF?

That particular setting is about sending Store App urls to Microsoft Defender's SmartScreen so it's a choice of security vs. privacy. The user gets to choose which is more important to them.

Yes, some optimizers do something similar, but this puts privacy settings nice and neatly. And everything is easily reset.

The Complete Suite of Programs Needed After New Windows Installation [V2.0: Advanced]

After a fresh Windows installation, new users might get frustrated by the weakness of the default Microsoft apps. So, in this list I'm going to cover applications that will enhance the user experience for everyday tasks. And for that, I only picked programs that meet these criteria: • Should be free (not commercial), safe and preferably open-source. • Should be an offline native desktop app/client. • Does not require advanced technical knowledge. Thus, the list is tailored to non tech-savvy home users, however, a section for people who are into computer programming and IT will be also added, which includes basic and commonly-used development and coding tools.
