I found this tool today while surfing around for something else. It allows you to disable a lot of the Windows 10 settings, such a Cortana and the tracking they do that can give away your privacy and slow down your PC! It is highly suggested that you create a restore point in case you wish you go back to the old settings although you can change them whenever you wish. This program does not install anything at all and does not install itself! Just run it!

Good find Steve. :cool2:
I started reading up on this app when you first posted it and it sounds like something good to use. Will try to do more research later today.
