Makes it easy for everyone to stop all the Windows 10 spyware - thanks O&O.
"O&O ShutUp10 means you have full control over which comfort functions under Windows 10 you wish to use, and you decide when the passing on of your data goes too far.
Using a very simple interface, you decide how Windows 10 should respect your privacy by deciding which unwanted functions should be deactivated.
O&O ShutUp10 is entirely free and does not have to be installed – it can be simply run directly and immediately on your PC. And it will not install or download retrospectively unwanted or unnecessary software, like so many other programs do these days!"
most people who whinge about privacy issues are the people who happily post everything to facebook

Running stand alone makes no difference. You allow it to run scripts which change settings on your computer. They are a Microsoft partner company. Therefore I would imagine they have agreed with Microsoft what the software will and won't do. Nothing completely turns off the spying. Microsoft will still receive info about programs you run etc. Your shopping habits etc. Personally I'm not cool with that stuff and I'm not cool with Microsoft installing updates without my say so. I'm sure we have all experienced that one update that screws your computer.... Every day turns into a lottery when you boot your computer.

Until you can completely remove all communication of data to Microsoft like you can with Windows 7 I won't be touching Windows 10... Microsoft gold partner.... I wonder what else the software does..

Your choice bud, nobody is forcing (despite MS trying very hard).......
"I wonder what else the software does" - what do you mean? this software is not installed at all, it runs standalone and O&O is a known reputable company!

Agreed. No reason to go the Win 10 route, people should steer clear. Microsoft might get the messsage they can't shaft everybody any way they want.
If for whatever strange reason you need/want to move away from Win7, you have Win8.1
But Win7 is still the choice of most professionals who know what they are talking about.
Win10 is not just spyware, but also surprisingly ugly.
Prefer the simpler interface of O&O and looks like it has more options. Don't see how one is more secure than the other.

I agree - a doddle to install & activate (about 30 seconds)

Thanks I've been needing something like this. Does my head in how much Microsoft changes your settings back to annoying as hell mode.

What's a comfort function?

Would assume they are just referring to switching off the windows 10 functions you are not comfortable with.

Think this is better, more options with decent explanation.
