I turn off my windows updates and choose what to install at my leisure. Treat this the same as all other window releases and thats wait until all bugs are fixed. Not sure if I want my system to be so directly linked to GCHQ so will give 10 a miss.

You cannot turn off updates in Windows 10 Home, you can delay in pro and Enterprise, but there is no off switch.

We could do with some help from you.

Go to settings accounts and follow the on screen tips/wizard I have already setup my many accounts for email via windows mail with no issues. It gives the options to correctly setup the various pop/other accounts within the wizard for you...

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

They have pushed the spy telemetry to Windows 7 & 8 in an upgrade also.

It works with Windows 7 and 8/8.1 also and does exactly what it says on the tin. :)

 

A word of caution if you use Spybot search and destroy while also relying on Windows Defender as you antimalware. Installing Spybot search and destroy, (not the anti-beacon app mentioned here), will disable Windows Defender and you will be without proper anti malware detection.

Most people that are concerned about this topic will use VPN's and have other malware programs installed. I often run systems tools that keep an eye on things but even then I still make mistakes and visit sites of question, even backing up a smart phone to your PC can cause issues if it is infected. So how far do you go?

Yes you can. Go to Services > Windows Update > Stop. Then right click, go to properties, set startup type to manual.
