Sometimes you need a few days to take a closer look at a software. So also in this case:

As with the predecessor, you also have problems with this version 2025 (4.0) that you would not have if you didn't use this app. This software lacks the most important thing: this is a program module that can make a backup of the old settings that can be brought back to this software so that it can filter out the deviations from the new condition from the backup. Since the changes are not made in this software, but in the operating system, the program module would have to be able to make a new list for settings from the filtered deviations, in which you can get the previous settings back until you have found the problem-related setting. Alternatively, the program should also be able to restore all previous settings without restoring the setting which are not deviated.

Unfortunately, even with careful manual settings, problems occur again and again that this program can no longer solve. Without a fresh system backup, I do not change anything manually in the settings of the operating system with Abelssoft Win11privacyfix 2025. The following happened to me:

In order to achieve a better percentage result, I changed some settings as proposed by Abelssoft. From the next Windows start I got to annoy myself that the Ascomp Synchredible window occured not only undesirable, but also remained permanently on the desktop. It was set in synchredible as before that it should start minimized and disappear in the hidden area of the system tray. Afterwards I did not succeed in finding the culprit for it. Without the previous system backup, I would have only had permanent trouble instead of improving anything.

If this software called Abelssoft Win11privacyfix 2025 shall be useful, then it must be able to re-process the changed settings in the operating system. The manufacturer Abelssoft is only pitifully being able to generate a file with system information on the desktop. This is so fatally reminiscent of Abelssofts Wash and Go: there, the program even prevents a backup with subsequent restoration. But it can't. The task fails. Instead of restoring, it can only offer a data chaos from which the user should pick out what he needs. The Abelssoft program does not know where which data has to go. Of course, the user doesn't know that either. So there too: instead of optimizing something, damage is done.

Conclusion: Another Abelsoft program that was not thought through to the end.

Win11PrivacyFix has 3 one-click settings -- the default turns off a handful of different data collection methods. The main windows has a long list of options on the right side, each with an *i* icon that provides info when you hover the mouse cursor over it. I only tried the default plus a few added options, and for each disabled option Win11PrivacyFix just turned off that feature in the registry, e.g., turning a value from 1 to o. At the end of the list are a few options to tweak Windows appearance. EDY asked if one or more settings could effect Windows Update -- I can't see how, and saw nothing about this on the product page. That said, you can always check for an update when you know one's available, like after 1:00 PM Est on Patch Tuesday, and if it doesn't work, turn off whatever options in Win11PrivacyFix until it starts working, and you'll know what option not to use. Windows only updates once a month, with an optional update towards the end of the month.

Win11PrivacyFix adds the program's folder, plus a new folder in Users\ [UserName]\ AppData\ Local. It installs 1/2 dozen fonts, and adds an uninstall key to the registry.

A question for the publisher. (or anyone else who knows) While I have yet to upgrade to Win11 but plan to in the not too distant future, will this pose a problem installing to WIn10 now? Thank you.

"For the users who have already registered for any other Abelssoft tool, the process runs automatically in the background. In this case the user can start right away."

Does anyone know where this info is stored on the PC?

What about also offering Win10PrivacyFix?
tks

Can Windows 10 users use this?

This program may affect windows update ?

It's the exact reason why I'm still using Windows 7.
