Don't know if this is the right place to post this (apologies if it is not)

Here's fine, it is tech after all.

!privacy@lemmy.ml

That's the largest privacy focused community though.

It's not news or article, so no.

I literally just found out about O&O ShutUp10++ and in the same post other commenters recommended Optimizer and privacy.sexy.

Check out Chris Titus's one tool for Windows privacy debloat. It saved my sanity.

Ctt windows util tool runs O&O shutup. It's a very good script cause it just runs everything and let you debloat to your hearts intent. I run it every time I need to make a windows machine.

Give it a go, it's really handy for setting up new machines! I'm on Linux mint permanently now but I still use that for servers

Maybe try this PrivateZilla but it's always a great step to reduce even by a little your data leaks, but as some already said here you should consider switching to linux, even with all your efforts you cannot repair a broken thing at the base....
