Default Setting privacy options via group policy?

Roger Blake wrote:
Many of the privacy options in Windows 10 Pro are set on a "per-user"
basis rather than system wide. (Even for the system-wide settings it
would be convenient to load these from the server.)

Is there a set of group policy settings that can be used to:

Enable all privacy options (disable app access to camera, microphone,
account info, radios, location etc.).

Disable "Getting to know you."

Disable Cortana.

Disable internet searches in the search box.

Disable background apps (Groove Music, Xbox, etc.).

Set feedback frequency to "Never."

Set diagnostic data to "Basic."

Set update installation to "Notify to schedule restart."

Defer upgrades.

Disable sharing updates with PCs on the internet.

Disable as much telemetry as possible.

Basically turn off as much junk as possible that would be unwanted
in a business environment...


For a business environment, see theses article for settings that you might
consider configuring in Win10

No magic wand, to take full advantage of the recommendations you'll need to
use Windows, GPO, Registry, MDM Policy(Mobile devices), Windows ICD(Imaging
and Configuration Designer.
