The word's out that with Windows 10 Microsoft is almost the new FBI and NSA. Here's a free app from an apparently reputable German developer, pXc-coding, that in one click will shut it all down: http://pxc-coding.com/portfolio/donotspy10/. See generally: http://bgr.com/2015/08/05/window-10-privacy-settings-how-to-stop-spying/. I noticed that the program is ad-supported, with an Open Candy adware. Malwarebytes just deleted that and I went on to use it without problem. You will notice after it's installed that several items in settings will now say that some services are managed by your organization, indicating its management in the OS.
