  1. Recent guide to disabling telemetry/spying/auto-updates?


    Hey all. I've been using Windows 7 still largely to avoid the online features of Windows 10. Recently I've hit a roadblock where I need W10 on a machine for driver compatibility but I still need this machine to operate in a stable unattended configuration without getting screwed over by some automatic patch or whatever else W10 does nowadays. I don't want this machine phoning home or sending out information.

    Are there any good, current guides or resources with a full list of recommended changes or tweaks to make after a clean install?

  2. 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.

    NVIDIA Telemetry Spooks Privacy-sensitive Users, How to Disable it

    Over the past few versions of NVIDIA GeForce drivers, the company has been bundling a telemetry tool that is enabled by default, auto-runs on Windows startup by default, and doesn't appear in the list of things you can choose not to install, when doing a custom-installation with NVIDIA GeForce driver installers. Very little is known about this new Telemetry component. For all we know, it could be a means for NVIDIA to collect crash-reports that help it improve its drivers down the line. Not everyone is convinced with this explanation.

    Spanning across three separate startup tasks (a bit much for a crash reporter?), Telemetry is allegedly a means for NVIDIA to send data "back and forth." Users that are the privacy equivalent of germ-freaks might see this as a means for NVIDIA to spy on its users, for a plethora of data, such as usage patterns, etc. MajorGeeks posted a brief tutorial on how to disable Telemetry (and other bloatware included in NVIDIA drivers), using Sysinternals, but you can use Task Manager, msconfig, or Registry Editor to disable these as well.
