Has anyone else had privacy settings completely reset after upgrading to Windows?

Can confirm. This happened to me after the last update. All my app permissions were reset, and I had to go through and disable everything again.

You could also try running the Windows Privacy Troubleshooter, which sometimes fixes these permission resets automatically.

This happened to me after the last feature update. I had to go back and manually turn everything off again, which was a real pain.
