Windows 10 Privacy Settings set you up to NOT be private; but that is kinda changing in the next version

When you install Windows 10 as an upgrade to any previous version, or when you buy a new device with Windows 10 on it, there are about 3 full pages of settings that are set, by default, to values that invade your privacy.  The only way to avoid these settings is to track them all down and switch them "off."  I won't list them all here, but the following article shows pictures of the some of the screens along with the announcement that the next "version" of Windows will be more explicit about telling you to review the settings (instead of saying "not recommended").  So check this forbes article out:
