While writing my most recent comprehensive guide to improve privacy on Windows 11, I started noticing just how many settings you have to manage to reduce the amount of data Microsoft collects from devices and users.
At one point, I genuinely thought I would never finish that set of instructions. Every time I believed I had found the last toggle, another appeared somewhere else. And even after turning off and reconfiguring dozens of default options, it's still unclear how much data the company continues to collect in the background.
