rjwc1 / Windows-10-Hardening

An admittedly frivolous (and now abandoned) attempt to harden Windows 10.

Windows-10-Hardening

Important note: I have effectively abandoned this project. Anyone who wishes to contribute further is welcome.

A collective resource of settings modifications (mostly opt-outs) that attempt to make Windows 10 as private and as secure as possible.

Registry

• Windows 10 batch file

• Office 2016 batch file

Group policy

• List of Windows 10 Group policy changes

Issues

1. Group policy registry references often change after major updates. This requires updates to these scripts.

2. Many of these modifications are mere opt-outs, and are not means to ensure Microsoft are unable to collect telemetry data.

Privacy

This collection of scripts does not collect any user data.
