Spydish will then apply all of the settings as shown here.Ĭlicking “Revert selected will revert any settings back to their default state.
Now simply click the “Apply selected” button as is shown below. As you can see, none of the settings are currently configured. In the screenshot below I have selected the Microsoft Edge group of settings. A readout appears almost instantly, showing the current settings for each policy.Īs easy as it is to obtain the current state of your privacy settings, it is just as easy to apply or revert them. Then click the Analyze button as is shown in the screenshot below. You can choose the entire allotment of Local Computer Policies, a selected group or groups or pick individual settings. Settings are grouped in different categories such as Privacy, Cortana, Bloatware, App Permissions, etc. Once opened, Spydish lists a series of privacy related policies in a sidebar on the left. While you wouldn’t use it to manage the privacy settings of your enterprise fleet of laptops, it’s a quick way to see which privacy settings are set on a designated Windows 10 system and modify them. It doesn’t require Group Policy so you can run it on a Windows 10 Home version. The application can only be run locally so you cannot use it to access privacy settings of remote machines.
It also gives you the option to enable any of the included settings or return them to their default state. The premise of the app is straightforward as it simply checks if privacy related policies are enabled on your Windows 10 machine. It runs as an EXE file so there’s not installation necessary. It’s a very small app that you can download from the developer’s GitHub site. It is a Windows 10 privacy tool called Spydish. I came upon this cool little app the other day and wanted to share it.
