There are several apps that can help disable telemetry services in Windows 10 and make data collection impossible, and there's no doubt that O&O ShutUp10 is one of the best.

And thanks to an update released today, the app brings even more than the original features, as it can now offer synchronization options with Windows accounts, while also revising the graphical interface and fixing some bugs here and there.

At the same time, version 1.1.1347 comes with some changes to Cortana settings, as they have been moved as a result of synchronization, according to the development team.

Needless to say, while this app can help you block data collection in Windows 10, keep in mind that Microsoft doesn't recommend you to install such programs, as the company warns that it could break some OS features and prevent other updates from installing correctly.

And yet, given the fact that Microsoft itself admitted that Windows 10 Home users aren't allowed to disable telemetry data on the operating system, this type of apps clearly comes in handy, so download O&O ShutUp10 right now to protect your privacy.

For your information, the data that's being sent to Microsoft includes anonymous device ID and information and crash reports, and the company guarantees that everything is 100 percent encrypted and stored in secure places without unauthorized access.
