For anyone interested, not my work obviously....Just read up on the full thread and noticed about the cmd screen not showing on boot...same on my end. Tested diff ways in the task scheduler but it refuse to show on boot? So, for people that like to see the cmd on (each) boot >> I create a GPO rule Code: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\Run It removes the task and ad the batch to C:\Windows\WuESU\scripts Same file ofcourse put folder on c:\ run [run]w10block_202005.cmd Code: @echo off schtasks /Delete /F /TN "BlockW10" powershell write-host -fore Magenta MS WIndows 7 -- Add W10-block script to the User Logon --===GPO--=== powershell write-host -fore Green Credits to --====abbodi1406 - MDL--==== mkdir C:\Windows\WuESU\scripts xcopy C:\w10block\W10-Block.cmd C:\Windows\WuESU\scripts /r /y regedit /s C:\w10block\w10block.reg TIMEOUT /T 5
If I am using the Suppressor (on Win7 before applying any updates), does it matter if I use the 'Security-only' packages or not? Also: Would this impact applying ESUs in any way?
You mean "DeTelemetry Package"? it's not related to ESU or Bypass Suppressor it simply kill (deactivate) telemetry components the same way Microsoft killed GWX with KB3184143, or Windows Journal with KB3161102
Does Windows LTSC version need the scheduled task as well or there is no risk of future updates reverting settings?

haz367 What a secret parametr "%%i" ? ) (reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Compatibility Assistant\Tracing" /v "%%i" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f)
%i is a variable, the batch script will replace it with the variable value at runtime. And, inside a batch script, you need to write %%i as it would otherwise not be processed as variable.
Sorry for asking, but do we use this tool, or one at https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dows-10-related-updates-from-windows-7.64561/ for telemetry disabling?
Sorry, I saw people still posting there, and moderator edited OP in 2017, so I was unsure. So, definitely use this one?
How do I turn this off? I accidentally installed this W10 on my computer due to confusion because I know a little poor English and misunderstood.
Dear All - What are the latest methods to disable Telemetry and other tracking services in Windows os 7.8.1 and 10? Thanks in advance.
