Privacy

Privacy reads the privacy settings for this machine and the account running KillerBench, then lets you change the ones you choose. It goes beyond the Windows Settings app, covering app permissions, cloud search and search highlights.

Step-by-step guides: Make Windows more private.

Reviewing and changing settings

Select the privacy areas to inspect and press GO. Every area starts unchecked and the review is read-only.

To change a setting, use the Privacy setting control. KillerBench checks whether a policy or device management already owns the setting, records the current value, makes the one change you asked for and reads it back to confirm it. Settings owned by policy are left alone.

The settings include diagnostic data and advertising choices, clipboard history, 17 app-permission settings such as camera, microphone and location, cloud content search for personal and work accounts, and search highlights.

Privacy

Read selected privacy registry settings for this machine and the account running KillerBench. Separate explicit controls can change Clipboard history or a supported account setting after fresh policy checks, durable preparation and exact verification. Other privacy selections remain read-only. Registry snapshots do not prove effective permissions or policy ownership.
