WPD Privacy app for Windows updated

[harlan4096]

Windows Privacy Dashboard (WPD) is a privacy-enhancing application for Microsoft Windows operating systems. The app supports all supported versions of Windows on the client and server side including Enterprise and Education editions.

WPD was updated recently to support the Windows 10 October 2018 Update; reason enough to take another look at the free tiny program for Windows.
The review is based on WPD 1.2.938 released on October 9, 2018.

Tip: check out our overview of Windows 10 privacy tools here.
