#3I get where some of this is coming from, but I'm not sure that "fixing" Windows by disabling automatic security updates is actually a good idea.

#4Unfortunately, the ad under "Does this banner show ads based on your interests? If yes, you have been tracked" is a link to what I can only imagine is malware, given that it's an "Update Drivers Now" ad. As such, this site isn't really appropriate to send to the average non-technical user, as given my experience from working at an IT help desk years ago, people will end up clicking that ad and installing the malware...

#5I look at this list and I think of my grandmother, who would never do this, never even think to do it.
"The windows" is her friend, and she's relatively tech savvy for a person of her generation.
Heck, people my mothers generation would not think to do this.
Heck, even my brother would not think to do this, or to look for this. If it's not a single place, if you have to open the command line (on windows) then the ability for a reasonable user to gain privacy is nonexistant.
the option might as well be a toggle switch in the middle of Tanzia, it will be noticed all the same.

#7I wish the steps were this straightforward for my android phone.

#8Not the first attempt I've seen to summarise all the fixes for the privacy leaks. But given I've seen 2-3 articles on the HN homepage so far this week that MS still sends all kinds of crap and of course has the ability to patch these workarounds - consider me sceptical!
This is a game people are going to lose. If MS cared about privacy this wouldn't have happened in the first place. Just don't use Windows. Use your favourite Linux distribution.

The guide shows how to disable sending updates from your computer to other computers on your LAN or on the Internet. It doesn't suggest disabling updates anywhere...
