Is this recommended? All these settings can be enabled/disabled manually in Windows, though, right?

Maybe
and Windows Privacy Dashboard (WPD) is another recommended tool

It's about disabling telemetry and other "botnet" features, not about useability.

How do you know you've disabled telemetry if you can't view the source code?
How do you know the buttons in the control panel actually do anything?
Jonathan Myers
That's the reason why WPD is preferably, it's open source. Try to remove an app or a setting and then go check if it works as intended or not.

The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

Closed source.
If you really want really to block microsoft from your pc, you need to block it with external firewall.
Just install simplewall and import mad max's host file into simplewall.
But honestly if you are using windows, there is really no privacy there if you install antivirus software, because they spy on you more than windows.
If you use windows, there is no need for this stuff, just disable telemetry from gpedit and use windows defender.There is no real freedom using windows and when comes to data, I rather give microsoft my data than some Eastern European antivirus company.

closed source, requires admin access, has a fucking discord group, really?
Isaac Scott
what a dumb question.. open gpedit.msc to check changes in group policy, open services to check changes in services... :facepalm:
Jack Gray
are you stupid? to change any system settings, especially group policy, administrator rights are required. why do you need the source code if you're so stupid you don't understand how the software works?

WRONG!
It's OPEN SOURCE 100%

I use it. I usually revert changes before a major update because it can fuck with them

You don't have to install anything. It's portable.
