Privatezilla is a Windows 10 desktop application that performs a privacy and security check against about 60 critical privacy settings, letting users enable or disable them via a GUI. It also supports a community package with PowerShell-based advanced scripting for debloating, telemetry blocking, and removing pre-installed apps.

Use cases

  • check windows 10 privacy settings
  • disable windows 10 telemetry
  • debloat windows 10 by removing preinstalled apps
  • block telemetry via firewall and hosts file
  • uninstall onedrive from windows 10
  • audit which privacy settings are configured

When to choose

  • you want a simple GUI to audit and toggle Windows 10 privacy settings
  • you need PowerShell-based debloating and telemetry blocking on Windows 10 (1809-2009)

When to avoid

  • you run Windows 11 or Windows versions outside 1809-2009
  • you need actively maintained software with recent updates
  • you want a cross-platform privacy tool
