Private Winten (PrivateWin10): new Windows 10 privacy tweaker with firewall - harlan4096 - 26 December 18

Quote:Private Winten is a new open source software program to adjust privacy and other settings on devices running Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system.

The program is available as a beta version at the time of writing: make sure you create backups before you run it or run it only on non-production machines.

Users who run it need to run it with elevated privileges. Please note that Windows Smartscreen may block the execution or download, likely because it is new. A check on Virustotal returned a clean sheet.
