So I’ve noticed that altough:

• all location services and are turned off in windows/privacy settings
• Win11 version I use is fairly debloated
• a tunneling protocol launches at start up

when pc goes to sleep mode the lock screen shows suggestions to avoid traffic in nearby streets !!

like I knew win11 is a remastered spyware but getting such notifications when they’re clearly denied access to such info is stunning, isn’t that supposed to be illegal ?

And in any case is there a way to prevent them from forcefully collecting such data (except using a virtual machine) ?
