User privacy including browser history and activities on the Windows 11 computer are important. In a Windows 11 installation, the computer user's activity history is saved to pick up where you left off on another computer.
Windows 11 stores all the information about the apps you run, the services you use, the files and folders you open, and the websites you visit every day. This data is synchronized with your computer every time you log in to Windows 11 Microsoft account.
While this is useful for users who want to access the same activity history on the other devices, it can lead to privacy issues for others. Some users prefer to keep their activity history turned off to prevent their data from being shared publicly.
To get started, you first need to disable activity history in Windows 11, then you can clear the data already saved.
Clear activity history in Windows 11
Right-click on the start button. Click on Settings in the menu.
Click on Privacy & Security in the menu on the left. Then click on Activity History.
To disable your activity history in Windows 11, click the checkbox: Keep my activity history on this device.
To clear activity history in Windows 11, click the Clear button. You have now cleared the activity history of the linked Microsoft account.
By clicking on the link: Manage my Microsoft account activity history, you can log in via the browser to the Microsoft account website. On this website you can manage even more types of activities. This allows you to specify what data is or is not collected.
