Once you make changes, you can't be sure what you changed, potentially making it difficult to change a setting, causing problems. If it lacks anything, it would be an initial backup of your settings. It's free, portable, and straightforward to understand and use. It does it a little differently than some of the others but fits in perfectly for those who want to not only change their settings but might not be aware of what each setting does.
WPD joins the crowded collection of Windows 10 privacy apps on MajorGeeks. Uninstall allows you to remove anything from the Windows Store that came with Windows 10, including Xbox, Photos, Tips, Get Office, and more.įinally, the Tweaker section allows you to enable the clearing of the swap file during restart, show sync provider notifications and a bunch of app settings to decide what is allowed to access your camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, and more. For each of the three sections, you can copy the blocked IP addresses and paste them into a text editor, but there's no way to edit what is blocked individually. While not explained, all this does is block known IP addresses that are provided by WS, the author of WindowsSpyBlocker. If you're not sure about any setting here, there's a question mark icon next to each setting so you can be sure what you're changing.įirewall Rules require Windows Firewall to be on and offer to block Telemetry, Third-Party App, and Windows Update. Some settings might be familiar, including Telemetry, OneDrive, Cortana, and Search Companion, while others you might not have seen before, including StepsRecorder, Handwriting Automatic Learning, and Inventory Collector. The Privacy section has over 30 settings that can be turned on or off. Once you open any of the four categories, they all are readily available on the left side, no matter where you are. WPD is broken down into four categories Privacy, Firewall, Apps, and Tweaker, and the primary interface lets you know how many issues there are or if there are settings that need to be adjusted. WPD is a portable app to manage your Windows 10 & 11 privacy and firewall settings, uninstall Windows apps, and decide what apps can access your information.
