Privacy Protector for Windows 11

Windows 11, while a great overall system, contains a number of highly controversial features that collect information about users and their activities on a Windows 11 PC and transmit the data back to Microsoft. With no adequate warning, no concise privacy policy, and most importantly, no official way to completely disable logging, Windows 11's new spying features are setting off alarms among privacy advocates around the world.

If you roll back your Windows 11 upgrade to Windows 7, 8, or 8.1, the problem isn't solved because Microsoft is actively pushing the same monitoring features to those systems via Windows Update. If you have legitimate privacy concerns about Windows 11, you really need to take matters into your own hands.

What Windows 10 Knows About You and How the Windows 11 Privacy Tool Can Help

Windows 11 collects an amazing amount of information about its users, and Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 will follow this trend with newly released Windows Updates. The following information is collected and submitted to Microsoft:

• Everything you type on the keyboard (Windows 11 has a built-in keylogger)
• Eavesdropping: Windows 11 can listen to your microphone and activate your webcam in the background without you realizing it (no, this is not a joke)
• Logins and passwords for websites and social networks
• Fragments of email messages, chats and text messages (including those you send and receive via crypto-messengers like Telegram)
• Your geographic location coordinates (GPS, AGPS, or approximate IP-based coordinates)
• Your complete web browsing history
• Your search queries
• Wi-Fi access points and their passwords
• List of installed applications
• Information about your listening preferences, including the names of the music tracks you listen to
• Call logs
• Your calendar entries, events, and meetings
• Your address book
• BitLocker escrow keys: if you encrypt your hard drive or eMMC storage with BitLocker, recovery keys are automatically uploaded to Microsoft OneDrive; Microsoft's privacy policy allows the company to share these keys with government agencies upon request
• Future Windows 11 updates are rumored to disable features when the system detects software or hardware components it deems "incompatible" or "unlicensed"
