    Making Windows 10 home edition as private as possible


    Hi I'm new here and want to make my Windows as private as possible. I know Home edition has some policies that are forced to a minimum setting or aren't changeable whatsoever but I want to get the closest to. Is it best to do this with regedit? Should I stay away from "tweaker" tools like Ultimate Windows or Winareo Tweaker? How do I know what entries will work and which wont in regedit since they change over time?

    I've went through a few articles like this before and already have taken most of the common sense privacy steps. Thing is that if you look through the registry editor, some of these settings or variations of them are still set to enabled. I'm looking for a more advanced guide that's up to date with with the current Windows updates.

    Winaero's tweaker is useful and indeed implements a good number of things very conveniently which are described in tenforums tutorials. It's not so-called 'privacy' tool.

    That article is way out of date - it spends a lot of time talking about Cortana- which was put out to grass some years ago now. Other things in it are useful though.

    What worries you about these?
