For me, the UI preference absolutely; but security *is* certainly a priority, which is exactly why I will not run Windows 10: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2956574/windows-10-privacy-spyware-settings-user-agreement.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonkelly/2015/11/02/microsoft-confirms-unstoppable-windows-10-tracking/ https://blog.emsisoft.com/en/18770/the-truth-about-windows-10-spying-on-almost-everything-you-do/ Don't want to wrestle with disabling all of that, to find out that the next update rolled back my settings, and then added more spying that can't be disabled this time. -- With respect, Roman
