Sorry, not sure what you mean by this. I don't see anything called User Account Control under Settings/Accounts . . .

Yeah, what I meant - of course - was to disable all options that make Windows use your camera and stuff and send your data without asking. ;)

OK! Seems like Windows just keeps getting worse with this automatic "phone home" crap with every new version. Unbelievable.

Thanks Tanngnjostr.

You will often get a pop-up while using a modern Windows. It is a security mechanism of Windows that asks you whether you really want to install or execute programmes etc.
You can switch this off when you search "Change User Account Control" in the Windows search field.
It is usually my very first thing to do after a clean installation.
