    Remove Microsoft Telemetry, Tracking and Monitoring


    I will be working on this tutorial by demonstrating through scripts for Windows 10 Professional edition how to remove tracking and monitoring, how each of the components monitor and what they monitor. Microsoft does not explain these components to the user and use these techniques to gather intelligence without supplying the user to opt-out, which is forceful. I don't agree with these ways.

    1. Custom .BAT exe compiled script, or some sort of compiled script.
    2. What the telemetry components monitor and send to Microsoft
    3. Helpful easy to walkthrough interface.

    Get too heavy handed blocking it or killing it and you will most likely cripple your system. Failed activation is one of the consequences of killing the wrong service and or striping functionality out.

    ^This.

    You might end up getting asked for activation if you stop the wrong service or process.

    In my experience, I have had zero failed activation errors after blocking all the target components that I know of, and have discovered.

    Good for you, but after people use Windows 10 privacy tools, they usually come here to fix failed activation, failed Windows Updates and various other issues caused by similar tools. I myself use windows tweaks, which cripple Windows pretty effectively, but I heavily discourage other users to use it. :)

    99,99% users do not really care about telemetry or tracking, as long as everything works.

    Well, for users that do care, it's what I'll be posting. And it's not about tools and not to use tools. There are alternative methods. Its about the idea.
