Modern personal computers are amazing machines.
They allow us to do things in minutes that once took hours or days as well as many other things that couldn’t be done at all in times past.

Luckily, an awesome free tool called Ultimate Windows Tweaker makes it very easy to change ALL of Windows 10’s important privacy settings at one time.
