There are several steps you can take to protect your privacy on Windows. Here are some of the most important ones:

- **Turn off ad tracking**. Windows uses an advertising ID to track your online activity and show you personalized ads. You can disable this by going to Settings > Privacy & security > General and turning off the option to let apps use your advertising ID.
- **Turn off location tracking**. Windows can track your location and share it with apps and services. You can disable this by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Location and turning off the option to allow apps to access your location. You can also review and clear your location history on this page.
- **Disable your activity history**. Windows can collect your activity history from your devices and sync it across them. This includes your browsing history, app usage, voice commands, and more. You can disable this by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Activity history and turning off the options to store your activity history on your device and send it to Microsoft.
- **Ditch a Microsoft account for a local account**. Windows lets you sign in with a Microsoft account, which syncs your settings, preferences, and data across devices and services. However, this also means that Microsoft has access to more of your personal information. You can switch to a local account, which only stores your data on your device, by going to Settings > Accounts > Your info and selecting \"Sign in with a local account instead\".
- **Change your app permissions**. Windows lets you control which apps can access certain features and data on your device, such as your camera, microphone, contacts, calendar, etc. You can review and change these permissions by going to Settings > Privacy & security and selecting the category you want to manage. You can also turn off the option to let apps run in the background on this page.
- **Control and delete diagnostic data**. Windows collects diagnostic data from your device to help improve its performance and reliability. You can choose how much data you want to share with Microsoft by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Diagnostics & feedback and selecting either Basic or Full. You can also delete the diagnostic data that has been collected from your device on this page.
- **Use Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard**. Microsoft offers a web-based dashboard where you can review and manage your privacy settings for various Microsoft products and services, such as Bing, Cortana, Edge, Office, OneDrive, Skype, Xbox, etc. You can access the dashboard by going to https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ and signing in with your Microsoft account. You can also download or delete all the data that Microsoft has collected from you on this page.
- **Turn off Shared Experiences**. Windows lets you share content and experiences with other devices that are nearby or on your network. This includes sending files, projecting screens, playing games, etc. However, this also means that other devices can see and access your device. You can turn off this feature by going to Settings > System > Shared experiences and turning off the option to share across devices.
- **Curb Cortana**. Cortana is Microsoft's digital assistant that can help you with various tasks and queries. However, Cortana also collects a lot of information about you, such as your voice input, contacts, calendar events, location, etc. You can limit what Cortana can do and access by going to Settings > Cortana > Permissions & History and turning off the options you don't want Cortana to use. You can also review and clear your Cortana data on this page or on Microsoft's Privacy Dashboard.
- **Get granular in the Settings app**. The Settings app has many other options that let you fine-tune your privacy settings for Windows 11. For example, you can control how Windows handles notifications, clipboard history, speech recognition, typing insights, etc. You can explore these options by going to Settings > Privacy & security and browsing through the categories on the left pane.

These are some of the simple steps you can take to protect your privacy on Windows 11. However, keep in mind that no operating system or device is completely secure or private, so you should always be careful about what you do online and what information you share with others.
