Another pede posted "shutup10." Its a teensy little app that allows you to murder all the outgoing nonsense to microsoft. I just installed it and it runs fine, you might try that as a redundancy.
There are a LOT of different things microsoft uses to spy on us... Short of going to Linux this seems the most secure.
It can be complicated indeed. Linux was build on similar structure to Unix and Unix is in fact older than DOS system which served in servers. Made by geek "autists" so many things are not so user friendly as should.
Also the quality sometimes differs because if some software is not done by some company (mostly interested in server things) it is done by private programmers hobbysts doing it in their free time or people at best living from donations/by foundations/ by some scientists/"hackers" (white hats so it is safe) and so on.
Not bad definitely - good,private and affordable.
