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.

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

Can Windows 10 users use this?

This program may affect windows update ?

EDY, you are correct, but the main thing is the security update that happens at least once a weak in the background. There are so many threats to the OS from Cyberattacks, that even MSFT can not keep up with it. The best thing we can do is to disable telemetry, microphone, camera and disable Bing browser, that is 90% of the privacy problem.

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

Jim C, personally I think it is madness using an operating system that has no security updates.

Jim C, I agree about windows 7. Had my computer not crashed, I would still be using it! I have yet to find an affordable installation disc.

Jim C, Still using Windows 7? What Browser do you use. I could never find one that still works with Win 7.

ds777, win7 should be able to accept the Windows Server 2008 R2 monthly security updates with the correct licensing tweaks. Even Vista has monthly security fixes by using the Windows Server 2008 cumulative security updates. Just because a desktop OS is removed from the automatic update path does not mean the updates are no longer being produced as originally update packages were built for both desktop AND corresponding server editions in the same MSU package, when the desktop edition is apparently abandoned all they do is remove it from the name of the combined package and the database that offers the fixes automatically plus some licensing checks.

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and 11 are pretty much based on the same generation of NT Kernel, offering very similar core functionality. There are some differences (some secondary Kernel functions), but generally software that runs on Windows 11 will also run on Windows 7 with no problems.

@ds777, the so-called "security updates" are beta-patches that many times produce big problems on users PC's as proven for the last 10 years or so.

@Dcxdan, Chrome-based browsers intentionally stopped support for Windows 7, following Microsoft EOL announcement, but there are several HTML5 browsers that run fine on Windows 7. Palemoon and Seamonkey are two examples.

Jim C, switch over to a Linux, like Zorin OS. That is safe, does not share your data with anyone, and looks like Windows 7.

ds777, I pay for OPatch security updates and they promise updates for 7 thur 2026.

Dcxdan, I'm using a older version of Vivaldi 5.6.2867.62. The newest version and last of a all around Browser to support 7 is WaterFox G6.18 (64 bit). That version is about 9 or 10 months old. Tor's last version is about 4 months old. Changing your settings in 7, you can lock it down pretty good from hackers. Set IE security settings to strict and NEVER ever use IE. Linux Mint is my next move.
