  1. Group Policy Editor to disable as much telemetry as possible

    Thanks a lot for your answer! I can't see any sign of widgets in task manager, so I assume it's enough. Regarding your things, could you share them with me? Or the best lists you found? Thanks in advance!
  2. Group Policy Editor to disable as much telemetry as possible

    Thanks for your feedback! Regarding #1, it's mostly useful if you have a laptop with a Home OEM key that Windows will use without asking. I guess I should mention to not do that if you don't own a W11 pro key, fair enough. #2 thanks for the close attention you brought to my page :) #3 I heard...
  3. Group Policy Editor to disable as much telemetry as possible

    Hello everyone I'm currently on a quest to disable as much telemetry as possible. 1) In the past, I was using utilities such as O&O Shutup10++ or W10Privacy. However, I'm not entirely satisfied for them. These tools are convenient but not open source. I trust them but it's not ideal. It's...

  6. Privacy and Security Enable or Disable Real-time Protection for Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 11

    I completely feel you, but I have found RTP the most invasive feature, both privacy wise and resources wise. While I don't trust Microsoft, I trust companies like Avast even less. I've used Windows without any AV in the past but most security experts advise against it, therefore, my current...
  7. Privacy and Security Enable or Disable Real-time Protection for Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 11

    Of course that's an alternative, but less and less people are interested in third-party AVs.
  8. Privacy and Security Enable or Disable Real-time Protection for Microsoft Defender Antivirus in Windows 11

    With every Windows update, it becomes harder and harder to disable RTP for good. So I came up with a solution with a friend, everything is explained in the README file: GitHub - duttyend/Microsoft-Defender-RTP-stop: Windows Task to disable Microsoft Defender Real-time protection automatically...
