     Non-response to my arguments, etc. duly noted.   
      
     To answer your question: You probably mean measures to limit the   
   consequences of bad actors having physical access to your (Windows)   
   computer or stealing it, as that's the context of this thread. "privacy   
   on a computer" is *way* too wide/unspecific/ambiguous/.   
      
     That said, my - rather obvious - recommendations are: A boot password,   
   sign-in protection (password or/and other) and - if needed/practical -   
   Windows' FDE or similar.
