Windows 10: Disable telemetry and keep Windows store working

So as the title suggests, I want to disable as much of the telemetry in Windows as possible while not breaking the Microsoft store so I can keep playing my games.

I’ve tried looking up resources on what tasks are necessary to keep it running but I can’t find anything. Does anyone know what services are required for the Microsoft store to run?

Thanks a bunch for any answers!

Disabling Windows Compatibility Telemetry - Windows 10

Hello,

Windows telemetry inform our decisions and focus our efforts in providing the most robust, most valuable platform for your business and the people who count on Windows to enable them to be as productive as possible. Telemetry gives users a voice in
the operating system’s development. For more information regarding Windows telemetry, you may check this
article.

If you don't want to participate in providing automatic feedback to improve the operating system, we can disable Windows Telemetry by following these steps:

• Run the Services desktop application.
• Locate Diagnostics Tracking Service in the services list, and open its
  Property Sheet.
• Stop the Diagnostics Tracking Service, and then change the Startup Type to
  Disabled.
• Click OK.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

 

Disabling Windows Compatibility Telemetry - Windows 10

All your reply does, is show Microsoft's disconnect from reality. For one, there's no longer a Diagnostics Tracking Service. That's no coincidence, btw, as MS purposely keeps changing the compat telemetry stuff around (so people have a harder
time disabling it). And/or keep re-enabling the compat telemetry in nearly every update. Read the thread. So, processblocker is the ONLY thing, so far, that truly, and persistently, blocks your compat telemetry now.

'Telemetry gives users a voice in the operating system’s development.' And, pray-tell, what is this?! Am I supposed to feel empowered now?! If you guys would REALLY listen to us, you wouldn't be constantly going out of your way to shove the compat telemetry
in our faces to begin with.

But since this is the probably the closest we get to having your ear, please hear this: compatTelRunner is an incredibly invasive piece of software, which constantly keeps your disk(s) bogged down. For instance, I have some junctions on my SSD to my game
disk. And no, I really don't want the combat telemetry malware to scan my entire game disk at every change made to my install. I really don't. And I really don't get why you people don't get that.

If you really want us to 'be as productive as possible', then stop trashing our hard disks!
