One thing (somewhat like google) is that if you disable the location/privacy items the Cortana assistant will not function. That's okay with me.  |
I changed the following settings:
Windows Update/Advanced Options/Chose how updates are delivered. Sharing updates with other PC's is NOW TURNED OFF plus I have set it to ask me to restart to load updates.
Privacy/Location is only on for weather and maps
Privacy/General advertising ID is off as its sending Microsoft Information on how I type
Privacy/Feedback and Diagnostics Microsoft can ask me once a week for Feedback and I only send Basic Information to them not Full.
Network and Internet/Wifi/Wifi settings turned off connect to hotspots and networks shared by my friends as it sends my data too.
XBOX Settings changed here to BLOCK for everything

I hope this helps
