Windows Privacy Cleaner — screenshot.

Turn off telemetry, clear activity history, and scrub app and browser traces in one desktop app - nothing leaves your PC.

For people who never agreed to be tracked

Windows turns data collection on by default. This tool hands you the off switches and a one-pass cleanup, all on your own machine.

How to use it

1

Review what Windows tracks

Open the app and see telemetry, activity history, app traces, and browser leftovers sorted into plain categories.

2

Turn off the data flow

Disable the settings that send tracking and keylogger data to Microsoft, using safe presets you apply in one click.

3

Wipe the leftover traces

Clear stored history and per-app traces; it all runs locally, so nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Benefits

Stop telemetry at the source

Block the background channels that report your activity and keystrokes to Microsoft, instead of only deleting logs after the fact.

Clear the traces apps leave behind

Wipe activity history plus the files and browser records that pile up while you work, in a single pass.

Stays current with Windows

Covers Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8, and 7, and is updated for the Windows 11 24H2 release.

Why people use it

Runs offline

Everything happens on your PC - no account, no cloud, no second tracker watching the first.

One-click presets

Sensible defaults if you do not want to read 200 toggles, with manual control when you do.

Wide Windows support

From Windows 7 through Windows 11 24H2 on the same install.

FAQ

The presets target tracking and activity reporting, not the update service. If one setting matters to you, toggle it on its own and re-check after a reboot before you apply everything.
No. The app reads and changes settings locally on your machine. There is no cloud step and no account to create.
Yes. Every setting can be re-enabled from the same screen, so you can tighten privacy now and relax one option later if an app needs it.
