With Windows 10 comes a few sacrifices in user privacy. While I personally trust that Microsoft is using this data to better the Windows and search experience, there’s always a chance that this data will fall into the wrong hands.

You, however, may feel that Microsoft has malicious intentions for collecting user data through Cortana and other Windows 10 features. This video will show you how to disable Cortana in Windows 10.

Note: Cortana is tied to Windows Search, and thus shouldn’t be entirely disabled. This video will show you how to disable the pieces that collect data and send it to the cloud.
