Has anyone heard of or tried this:
Download DoNotSpy10 - MajorGeeks
It looks like it does some useful things, but there's always the chance it isn't quite as smart as it thinks it is and causes more problems than it solves.
Hi.
Although I've not had personal experience with this, I will refer you to a couple of posts you might want to read before using any tool to make these kinds of changes to your system:
Privacy and Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
Solved Unsafe at any circunstance? - Windows 10 Forums
Hi:
No personal experience with it, but I will echo @simrick's wariness, as per this post:

Up to you, of course, but I would give it the swerve,
MM
Have a look at this:

Use O&O ShutUp10 instead.
It is portable and clean, and disables much deeper than DoNotSpy10
OO ShutUp10: download free antispy tool for Windows 10
Again, I would hesitate to recommend any of these "automatic" privacy tools, as they tend to do irreparable damage to the system that is not necessarily noticed until a future time, when their "changes" have caused other Windows functions/features to fail or not install. I have had experience with users on this forum who have used O&O Shutup and I can not recommend it for that reason.
The post I prepared below, outlines all the privacy modifications a user can safely and easily make on the system, which are all totally and completely reversible, and should satisfy almost everyone - even the tin foil hatters like myself.

The problem is that most people who use this a) don't know what it actually does under the cover, and b) forget they ran it. so, later on they have problems with Windows 10, and then they blame the OS and come here looking for help. Since we don't know that they ran this tool, we spend a lot of effort trying to chase down the problem, which was their own doing.
