How to Set Up CyberGhost Privacy Guard on Windows

CyberGhost Privacy Guard helps you adjust Windows privacy settings, giving you more control over what data your device can share. 

Privacy Guard helps you adjust privacy-related settings for:

• Microsoft Store apps
• Microsoft Edge
• Microsoft Defender
• Windows feature updates
• Syncs

To access Privacy Guard, open the CyberGhost VPN app, select the Privacy Guard icon from the sidebar, and then click Start Now.

You’ll be asked to choose a privacy level. This will determine your initial settings. Once you’ve made your selection, click Next.

Decide which features you want to turn on or off, and then click Preview changes. You can always go back and change these settings later.

On the next screen, you’ll be presented with the full list of changes that’ll be applied to your system. Review them carefully and adjust them if desired. Once you’re satisfied, click Apply > OK. 

Note that some changes require a system reboot to take effect. You can choose Reboot Now or receive a reminder later.

How to Revert Settings

You can revert any changes you’ve made by opening Privacy Guard and clicking Revert. You’ll be presented with three options:

• Revert: Changes your settings to match the selected privacy level (e.g., Basic or Advanced).
• System default: Undoes all tweaks made by Privacy Guard and resets all privacy level settings on your system.
• Clean up: Cleans up leftover settings from previous Privacy Guard activity and re-applies your currently selected settings.

When done, you can look at some of the other customization features CyberGhost offers.
