Free Tools to Prevent Windows 10 Spying

There has been some talk about Windows 10 and user privacy issues in the past few months. We highly recommend that you take a look at these free tools that prevent Microsoft from spying while you work if you are on Windows 10. Take a look at the list below.

Destroy Windows 10 Spying

This is a simple program that gives you a wide range of options in a single interface. It is a lot easier to use than disabling specific Windows 10 spy settings.

Disable Win Tracking

This is similar to Destroy Windows 10 Spying however it only has four options, Telemetry, Services, Clear DiagTrack log, and Block tracking servers with HOSTS files. It is very basic but still useful.

Windows 10 Privacy Fixer

This single interface program allows you to import your current privacy settings and view them all in one view. Then you can disable whichever ones you want.

W10 Privacy

This is another single interface program that covers the most amounts of privacy settings. Unfortunately it is only available in German for the moment.

As CEO of Rekall Technologies, I’ve been helping small business owners simplify their technology since 2011. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how IT becomes frustrating, time-consuming, and a constant distraction from running a business. That experience is what drove me to build Rekall differently. I didn’t want clients adjusting their businesses to fit their IT—I built services that adapt to how real businesses actually operate. My philosophy is simple: technology should be secure, stable, and effectively invisible. When IT is done right, it stays out of the way and gives you the freedom to focus on your clients, your team, and growing your business with confidence.
