Optimizing Windows 8.1
You are currently reading a thread in /g/ - Technology
Can any one suggest on how to optimize windows 8.1 performance and improve privacy?
How much of a botnet is windows 8.1 and do performance altering updates really exist?

Install Gentoo?

Don't install optional updates. Look around for telemetry update lists periodically to uninstall and hide. Disable any services you don't use

A few days ago I connected an gamepad I bought at an flea market and windows informed me that my location has been accessed. Is it possible for an controller to contain software that could have made such a request?
Besides disabling telemetry is there something else I can do?

Controller probably just turned on an existing service in your computer. I don't screw around with windows 8 very much but it's very googleable. And things like location have their own universal settings
