    Stop telemetry


    What is the best way to stop Windows 10 telemetry short of disconnecting from the internet? I'm finding conflicting articles with some saying to edit group policy and others staying that it can't be stopped. The best guide I've found is this one: Stop Windows 10 spying on you using just Windows Firewall It lists some servers to block using windows firewall. What about an external firewall using another computer such as a raspberry? I would be willing to do that but is there a guide on how to do so?

    :)

    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.

    Stop telemetry

    Me disabling your telemetry should not make the search bar stop working

    Just stop it, Microsoft. Oh, I wish I could use swear words here......... Just STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are such a petty, money-hungry company. Me disabling the telemetry should NOT make the search bar stop working. If I CHOOSE to block
    CORTANA, then that is my choice. I don't want MY PC to send YOU ANY INFORMATION. IT'S MY PC. NOT YOURS. Just f off!!
