Windows 10: How to disable Updates, Telemetry and more?

Hi, im tired of windows downloading stuff in the background every 10 mins.

How do i disable Updates and any kind of information windows can download in the background?

I have a 200kb/s connection and very limited, already set to metered connection but windows doesn't seem to care.

I want to manually install updates, not having them downloaded in the background.

I don't care if i might get any kind of infection via malware, ransomware or anything else, j just eant to use my connection smoothly without windows messing it up by downloading something in the background.

Already used: ShutUp10 Group Policies Regedit (update key) Disabled services Set metered connection

I know it's windows using my connection since everytime i kill the services it goes back to normal.

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!
