Tip 3: Turn off Activity History to Protect Your Privacy on Windows
When you browse your PC, Windows stores all the information about it. It stores all your activity, which includes the websites you visit, the apps you use, and all the other things you do. This could be a privacy concern for many people. If you are not an exception, then you most likely need to turn it off. Go to Settings > Privacy > Activity history. You will see a checkbox that says Store my activity on this device. Uncheck it and Windows will immediately stop storing your activity history.
