    Cannot Disable Win10 Telemetry Svc: Device Management Wireless Appli.


    Running Win10 20H2. I use WPD to secure my system from MS telemetry. I have recently noticed that after disabling thru WPD the Device Management Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Push message Routing Service, on the next reboot, or sometimes during the session, that service is up and running again. I have tried command line disabling and also using the Services menu to no avail. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    For testing purposes both services disabled and remained disabled after reboot by using services.msc

    Have had this happen. Just rebooted, still disabled. However, on first bootup next day, will be enabled.

    Followed all the steps , again disabled, and sure enough it turned itself back on in a few minutes. Happens on all three machines, 20HQ 2 Pros and 1 Home. Also happening on a friend's Home.

    For the record, that service is used for Windows notifications, not sure why privacy tools try to disable it.

    if you Google this service, you will see Win10 privacy gurus strongly recommend disabling it.

    Disabling this service is not supported for Home, Pro etc., you can control it in Enterprise and Server editions.

    DiagTrack service "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" can be control either in Settings app, services.msc or trough GPO, but none of the options allows disabling it completely on consumer grade editions.

    Those are not gurus but sceptics, because if they're gurus then they should at least be able to explain why it doesn't work.

    The only real reason why you may want to stop this service is when you read MS privacy policy and you do not agree to share data according to that policy.

    There may be hacks to disable service and may introduce problems with system, however the easiest way to deal with that is to define firewall rule that will block this service from access to internet, and there is nothing bad with this approach.

    Little late to this thread but did you ever find a solution?
