Win 10 is very snoopy, and in factory trim reports everything about you and your browsing habits it can back to Microsoft. Youngest son recommended Win 10 Spy Disabler freeware to tighten things up. Nice little program, gives you all kinds of options on what you can kill. Only problem, it never seemed to DO anything, no matter what options I selected.
I finally got the thing to work this morning. The program window is too big for my screen (I'm a laptop) and the "APPLY" button was off the bottom of the screen and out of reach. You cannot click on buttons that are off the screen.
Fix: move the task bar out of the way. My task bar is on the bottom of the screen where it belongs. But in "Settings" there is an option to move it to the right hand or left hand side. Which gives just enough more screen to show the "APPLY" button.
Win10 Spy Disabler ran to completion and offered to reboot. Which I did. And the laptop survived the experience. Whether the program actually did anything is hard to tell.
