There are a few steps you can take to change the default privacy settings on your laptop:
- Adjust the device security settings to the desired level by browsing the settings menu.
- Disable Windows Auto-update for privacy updates to ensure that privacy updates are approved before they are installed.
- Ensure that security and update patches are enabled, and patch any vulnerabilities with the right updates.
- Disable all OS-level sharing services, browser plug-ins, or tracking software.
- Check for any uninstalled security software and choose the most up-to-date version to install.
- Enable two-factor authentication that requires a second form of authentication such as a text message or biometric scan before being granted access to your device.
- Ensure that your laptop is encrypted to protect sensitive data.
