Disabled Services in Windows 10

<< < (2/2)

Curt:
I use Blackbird.

Don't want Windows spying on your every move?  Don't feel like spending hours messing with privacy settings that ultimately still result in data collection?  Think your private information belongs to you and no one else?  Or maybe you just want a faster PC and don't like all the new "features" Windows has to offer.

We think so too, so we made Blackbird V6-Blackbird
