How to prevent apps from accessing account information in Windows 10

Working with an operating system that adapts to our needs and preferences is something that is quite important for most users , since in this way they will be able to get more productivity from their work and feel more comfortable during its use..

 

 

Windows 10 is a system that is linked to the user account in order to work based on the user's preferences and in other cases to be able to synchronize all the information with the devices where they have logged in.

 

This is normal, but for privacy or confidentiality issues we may want the applications to not have access to account information. This is because an application can collect information and send it to developers and then offer products or services, which is annoying. We can avoid this with a simple step that TechnoWikis will explain to you..
