You probably heard that there's a whole debate around the tracking features that Microsoft bundled into Windows 10, so it was only a matter of time until a million apps supposed to block the operating system from collecting your data reached the web.

But what all these apps do isn't actually stopping Windows 10 from collecting your personal data, but sending it to Microsoft and this is the exact same purpose of O&O ShutUp10.

Basically, this little application, which is obviously available free of charge, just like the others, disables all telemetry services in Windows 10, be they listed in the settings screen or running the background (because yes, it turns out that even if you disable all data tracking in the settings screen, Windows 10 is still getting in touch with Microsoft through some other services which cannot be disabled as easily as the other ones).

The interface is very straightforward and clean, and all settings are displayed in the main screen, without you having to browse cluttered menus. Sure, a wizard would have been nice, but it still offers several options with intuitive names, so everything's alright.

Overall, this little app does exactly the same thing as all the others promising to protect your privacy in Windows 10, so go ahead and download O&O ShutUp10 to give it a try right now.
