critical Windows 10 privacy settings and allows you to quickly perform a privacy check against these settings. Active settings are marked with the status \"Configured\" and indicates that your privacy is protected. The inactive ones are declared as \"Not configured\". All available settings (currently 60) can be enabled as well as disabled.\n\n### System Requirements\n\n- Windows 10 (supports 1809 - 2009)\n\n## Download\n\n- (GitHub) [Download](https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/releases)\n\n## Community package\n### For advanced users only!\n\nThe community package for Privatezilla adds support for several advanced scripting features based upon PowerShell, e.g.\n- Removal of specific pre-installed apps\n- Uninstall of OneDrive \n- Unping Startmenu tiles \n- Disable telemetry of third-party apps (E.g. CCleaner, Firefox, Dropbox, Microsoft Office)\n- Removal of Windows Defender (NOT recommended! I can highly recommend using Windows Defender on consumer versions of Windows 10)\n- Blocking telemetry via firewall and host files. Rules are provided by [crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker](https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker)\n- Support for all-in-one PowerShell debloating script [Windows10Debloater.ps1](https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater) \n- New automation templates\t\t\t\t\t  \n\nAll objects (templates and scripts) included can be viewed [here](https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/tree/master/scripts)\n\n### How-to Install\n* **[Download](https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/blob/master/scripts/packages.zip?raw=true)** the latest `packages.zip` file.\n* **Extract the package** to Privatezilla installation directory \n   *(the extracted package must have the name scripts)*\n* **Restart Privatezilla**\n\n### Intro of community package after Installing\n\n![community-package](https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/blob/master/assets/community-pkg.gif)\n\n## Credits\n\nSince release 0.30 this project is partly based upon \n\n- https://github.com/t-richards/chemo\n\nMore infos [here](https://www.builtbybel.com/blog/12-company-announcements/39-spydish-becomes-privatezilla-open-source)\n\nThis software uses the following packages:\n\n- [Icon by bokehlicia](https://iconarchive.com/show/captiva-icons-by-bokehlicia/preferences-system-icon.html)\n\n## Support\nIf you like the tool please consider supporting me via PayPal.\n\nYou can [buy me a coffee or donut, some banana, a shirt, Taycan or Tesla, the stars or whatever you want here](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations\u0026business=donate@builtbybel.com\u0026lc=US\u0026item_name=%20Builtbybel\u0026no_note=0\u0026cn=\u0026currency_code=USD\u0026bn=PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted)\n\n---\n\n\u003e [builtbybel](https://www.builtbybel.com) \u0026nbsp;\u0026middot;\u0026nbsp;\n\u003e GitHub [@builtbybel](https://github.com/builtbybel) \u0026nbsp;\u0026middot;\u0026nbsp;\n\u003e Twitter [@builtbybel](https://twitter.com/builtbybel)\n","funding_links":["https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations\u0026business=donate@builtbybel.com\u0026lc=US\u0026item_name=%20Builtbybel\u0026no_note=0\u0026cn=\u0026currency_code=USD\u0026bn=PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted"],"categories":["C# #","Operating Systems","C#","Operating systems","C\\#","powershell","OSS Applications"],"sub_categories":["PC / MacOS","[Windows 10](https://www.microsoft.com/windows/)"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbuiltbybel%2Fprivatezilla","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbuiltbybel%2Fprivatezilla","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbuiltbybel%2Fprivatezilla/lists"}
