Windows 10: Windows Telemetry

I've been using O&O's ShutUp10 for a long time now. I use it to disable telemetry, so I don't have to mess with the registry. After updating to the latest version of Windows 10 OS Build 19042.804, which is the Feb. 9 update, Windows keeps turning on telemetry. Every time I open O&O's ShutUp10, it shows me this:



Why is Microsoft so hungry for personal data? Is there any way I can turn off telemetry for good?

I'm very eager to know.


Thanks,

Kai
