A tool that I created to use some of the known methods of disabling tracking in Windows 10.
Slavic languages: Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbo-Croatian (for Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin), Ukrainian.

This program cannot run correctly from a file path that contains Cyrillic characters. Make sure to run it from your root folder (usually C:/ ) so that you don't get runtime errors.
Эта программа не может работать корректно, если в пути к файлу есть кириллические символы. Обязательно запустите его из корневой папки ( обычно C:/ ), чтобы вы не получали ошибок во время выполнения.
Note: Windows Defender may report the EXE as a trojan (Win32/Pocyx.C!cl), and may therefore prevent you from extracting the EXE to anywhere on your computer. Set up an exclusion in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender > Exclusions by adding the folder you intend to extract the EXE to.
You can either:
A. Run the binary uploaded to the Release tab as an Administrator and select which options you'd like
B. Install Python and the dependencies listed below and run the script from an elevated command prompt and select which options you'd like
Either can be run with the -silent argument as of v3.1. This will perform all available options of the version you're using.
You still need to run it as administrator.
This is only to run the script from source, download the exe here
