None, stop believing Sup Forums memes and stop being a tinfoil retard
I dont think any third party app will work, I dont trust them, its Microsoft's OS so if they want to spy on you they will, no third party app will work, or even if it works for some time Microsoft will update Windows to make those apps not work. Maybe the only thing you can do is to install W10 Enterprise edition and disable telemetry almost completely in it through group policy. In the enterprise edition you can disable more telemetry than in the other editions

OP, W10 is a privacy nightmare. You should install a different version of Windows if you really need it. The telemetry updates can just not be installed in 7 and 8.1

aaah these buzzwords make me feel so tingly for some reason, everytime i see them here or on some clickbaity articles

this one ain't any better than the linux article
same amount of misinformation, outdated crap and fud just to generate a "Oh wow shit's serious!" reaction

Just tweak group policies.
Then you should use some smart approach, like of course block servers trough which Microsoft communicates - best way is router way.
github.com
I would use hosts from here because it's the most intelligent and safe approach - they had multiple virtual machines with windows 10 running for a long time and daily collecting all attempted connection by the OS, then that's the list with updates / other services being filtered out and being optional blocking.
Here's a start:
v10.vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
settings-win.data.microsoft.com
watson.telemetry.microsoft.com
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com
vortex.data.microsoft.com/collect/v1
You don't need an app or program to remove the privacy.
You're going to use group policy editor for a lot of the spying use. Just look up how to disable cortana, and it's the same way for most of that stuff. But windows has privacy settings in control panel too, so turn all those off as well.
>mah privacy
MacOSX™ doesn't have this problem
it doesn't have privacy, you're correct.
Are you a terrorist or a pedophile? What's the big deal about others seeing your data?
are you a terrorist or a pedophile? why don't you post your browsing history here?
Because Microsoft sends it to the government, not to autists on Sup Forums
NSA and advertising providers microsoft sells the data to.
Basically Microsoft collects and organize the data in a readable form from which you can gather intelligence about that person.
NSA just hoards all data it can without it being structured, hence it lacks the intelligence element it needs.
PRISM and other projects allow NSA to continuously take data from Microsoft servers, their automated flags, scripts and so on work better with that data.
Basically just let them gather data about you if they wanted to the hard way make it useful only when they put real human beings work with it - and that shouldn't happen unless you do illegal stuff.
so privacy infringing is okay as long as ones data gets sold by corporations to the government? what kind of logic is that
Ok:
Outlook.com
Reddit.com
9gag.com
Sup Forums.org/v/
Discord.com
See, no biggie.
So having privacy is a problem to you?
You dingus ;)
You did not include your username, password, clicks, google searches, typed keybinds.. that's the basic core data that gets collected at minimum.
Government fights terrorists and pedophiles. Sup Forums autists don't.
okay, now your banking details? the porn you watch? your email history? what about your address?
no, i like privacy, i don't want it sold and traded like a commodity. I don't even know what point you're arguing for anymore, you're just saying things and then making assumptions when i try to figure out what you're trying to get to.
I'm saying that macOS is respecting your privacy.
How hard was it to understand?
>no Sup Forums.org/g/
Are trying to hide something, mister?

Yes privacy is not a problem with OSX you just give it away at first agreement.
how do you know it respects your privacy? the apple website says so? I apologize, I misread the comment you replied to and thought it was a different one.
>muh children and da terrorists
get a warrant if you want to get information on me. besides, many terrorist communications were over things using plaintext such as PS4 online chat. heck, the boston bombings were used over plaintext sms, and the government knew about it and chose to do nothing. hoarding all user data for years just makes it harder for them to actually sift through everything to find what's actually an issue.
You cannot disable it. If it really bothers you, just remember that your hardware and firmware is proprietary and can spy on you, as can most programs you'll use on Windows.
>How do you know
Because I Apple© is trusted by high profile people. They wouldn't use Apple© products otherwise.
:^) of course. that makes sense, if Senate member xx uses apple because he believes it's secure, it must be secure

just smash your PC with a rock, no one can steal your data that way
that's how every os works
you use one so you can install third party applications
there's a difference between installing a third party application to, say, connect to the internet, and installing a third party application to manage, for you, the operating system itself in ways like keeping your privacy preference disabled or other such settings.
The difference is that if you can chose between different applications you can get exactly what you need out of your OS instead of being dependent on the shit it ships with.
>Apple and our partners and licensees may collect, use, and share precise location data, including the real-time geographic location of your Apple computer or device
>using windows 10 home edition
>disable firewall/cortana/updates through the UI
>MS says, in their Terms, that they will turn them back on for you when they feel like it
>using not windows 10
>disable updates/firewall through the UI
>they stay off
basically, if I tell the OS to (not) do something with its settings, it should continue to (not) do it for as long as I do not change the setting. Installing a third party application to manage those for me because the OS itself refuses to let me control it is bad design. This isn't a matter of having choice (chrome vs edge vs firefox, etc) it's a matter of my OS doing what I, and not MS, tell it to do. If the OS doesn't let me administer it in the way I want it to, it's a garbage OS.
And all this "tracking" is to improve quality of services Apple© is providing to their customers.
This is the reason why Apple© products are so high quality. ;)
I think this is a misunderstanding. I thought he was referring to things like NetworkManager to connect to the internet as third party software, whereas in Windows such things a builtin.
>cucklook
>need to b shot
choose both
nah, I was referring to administering the system itself. I'm obviously fine with different options for doing external things (text editing, internet browsing, network management). i have an issue, mainly, with the OS needing third party software to manage the internals and administrative stuff of the machine itself.
Seconding enterprise, especially if it's ltsb. No telemetry, no metro, no edge, no cortana, no windows store, no feature updates that take hours to download and that's not even mentioning what you can do with local and group policies. Using it as my second OS when compatibility is absolutely needed and couldn't be happier.
I'm sure it's also used in that regard, but the fact remains that they don't respect their users' privacy in the slightest.
maybe you should stop visiting these sites and go back to redit?
>No telemetry
False.
And everything else you mentioned can be disabled via group policies with normal enterprise without locking yourself in a kiosk os meant for hardware that should never be tampered with.
>what programms do I have to run now to fix the privacy things?
Uninstall it. All of it
>no telemetry
I use LTSB but don't kid yourself.
>kiosk os
It's just Enterprise with less bloat, you can install whatever's missing.
can you install store and use UWP apps?
>57 posts
>nobody posted the correct link
docs.microsoft.com
your link is boring and doesn't fuel anyone's paranoia
I believe so. Why would you want Windows store?
last time i checked it was impossible or led to OS breakages. Windows doesn't like when someone is messing about with its guts.
As for why - there are some handy uwp apps, like Xodo, and some others, and i also believe uwp platform will be getting bigger and bigger, and ignoring it, thinking that it will maybe go away, is childish.
This.
/thread
Personally I don't use Windows for anything important so LTSB is best for me, but I see how it could be a problem.
stop looking at Child Pornography
it's a meme you dipshit
Why don't you tell me your full name, location, bank account balance and favorite porn genre? It's not like you're a pedophile right? You have nothing to worry about.
are you worried that MS is going to blackmail you for looking at tranny porn?
I'm worried they sell that shit to advertisers or simply have a compromised server. Stuff like that happens every day. You have no idea who ends up with your data in the end.
then why use windows at all?
why would they sell that to advertisers?
feels like it would be more valuable to them to keep it for themselves.
>then why use windows at all?
I don't
>why would they sell that to advertisers?
Money?
>feels like it would be more valuable to them to keep it for themselves.
It's not like they can't use the data for their own marketing etc. and still share it with third parties.
No, its the only sane fix to botnet10.
Take a while to figure it out. If u block too much windows break itself.
there is nothing to block -> it breaks itself when you start disabling services, that YOU think YOU don't need
You better have enterprise nigga
gentoo
install gentoo
I don't want shitty UWP apps running at background but guess what? Disable it breaks the start menu.
Block some host break some others settings, so I fixed all of that shit removing win10 itself.
rufus has issues for me on some distros like void. Etcher works nicely
I'm sure they sell it outside of the government too. Corporations must love you
>fix the privacy things
Hahahahahhhahahahahahaha
Disable them running in background but do not disable them entirely. I still use the calculator from time to time tbqh..
...as much
So I just need to set telemetry to 0 and then disable MSRT and Windows Defender.
Looks great. I appreciate that Microsoft is making this information available as documentation right in the operating system.
Why are you laughing though?
You also need to disable every single privacy setting from the menu and Cortona and the typing thing from group policies.
It wouldn't hurt to also disable telemetry via hosts there are 5 ip's which Microsoft also provides.
Usually if your power setting is set for saving or if you're on battery windows sends 0 data but if you're on power cord even with lowest settings for privacy windows might send small packets of data periodically which include your unique device id alongside what peripherals you have, windows version and so on - some random shit which can be 100% avoided by blocking the servers.
>minimal data
It's still spyware you illiterate tard.
A think..think
Read the next sentence you illiterate tard.
Read again. It includes, not limited to. So there's more than MSRT/MSE data still sent to MS.
But then it would say "This data includes, but is not limited to, ..."
It includes as in there's a blob of data still sent, which also includes MSRT/MSE. You may disable the MSRT/MSE data collection (or disable MSE completely and decline MSRT's installation, since it's not installed by default, you only get it on the first update), but the rest of that data blob (which is unknown to you and what it consist of, only MS knows) is still sent.
But it doesn't say that anywhere, where are you getting your information from?
Random russian kids on the internet?
It's how the wording is. "Includes" means there's more than only the few stated things.
No it doesn't. It doesn't exclude that possibility but it doesn't mandate it either.
Then the wording would have been "This data consist of ..", which it isn't.
Whoever wrote that didn't expect that a retard would nitpick over the phrasing.
Read Telemetry consists of those three things. It's called telemetry because it's doing nothing but reporting information back to Microsoft.
All other connections listed there aren't telemetry but something that is required for various components to operate.
Install Gentoo
You have no idea what it's actually sending.
>legal loopholes
>you're just nitpicking
Unironically kill yourself.
>group policy description is a legal document
>required for various components to operate
There are fully functional OSs, and even versions of Windows, that have all those features and never connect to the internet. That data is not necessary.
It is, you fucking tard. They can't lie to customers outright, but with proper wording they can get away with whatever.
