It’s no secret that many users are concerned that Windows 10 might violate their privacy by sending personal information to Microsoft, and while Redmond says that everyone has full control of what and when they share, third-party apps that block data collection are becoming more popular.

O&O ShutUp10 is one of these applications, and fortunately for its users, the developing team improves the app very often, so new updates are released every once in a while to make its features even more powerful and make it effective when it comes to blocking Windows 10 data collection.

Version 1.0.1345 has been released today with such improvements, including a new category for personal assistant Cortana. In other words, if you want to disable tracking services that are only associated with Cortana, you can now do so from a dedicated app section, so you don’t have to pick from a longer list of settings that includes other general tweaks.

What’s more, this new version makes everything easier to use with the help of a short guide that’s placed in the help menu, so if you have problems figuring out the purpose of a feature, this the place to look for more information.

In the end, this is one of the best apps of its kind, and it’s clearly worth a try if you’re one of the many privacy-obsessed Windows 10 users, so just download O&O ShutUp10 to see what it brings new.
