    This is helpful. Alas, I don't know how to proceed.
    Should I download the
    en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f
    or the
    en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_version_21h2_arm64_dvd_fe1aa7cd

    I'm assuming the former. How would I go about activation IoT with HWID?

    Nah, it doesn't remove anything needed or important, just disables it, creates a backup folder, from which everything could be restored and have custom switches to configure things to your liking.

    Been using it for the last 5 years without any issue. Not a single byte of data gets transferred to Micros**t except for downloading/upgrading certificates but each to it's own.

    I do wonder, did you see the services tool complains they are bad ?
    in first time I run this tool, network gone wrong
    from that day, I understand that, remove as much as you can
    its not the best, you can keep some services, for stability of the system
    so it send some telemetry, but for the benefit good
    you can't get zero telemetry, without killing the system
    you have to balance, between privacy & system stability

    btw I use google chrome, and google account
    google know what I watch at my free time
    who cares ?

    Nah, nothing ever complained to me about Blackbird for the changes it makes to the system. If anything has gone wrong or is not to your liking, you can always restore from backup and reconfigure the custom switches to exclude Blackbird from making changes to that particular module. It can't be any harder than figuring out everything on your own and doing like 1000 tweaks, right ?

    My Network or anything never went bad after using Blackbird so I'm not the one who will complain.

    I have limited Internet Connection and limited bandwidth so unlike you I can't allow Windows to use my bandwidth and my system resources for data collection that doesn't benefit me in any way.

    That essentially saying you don't care about Telemetry but lot's of other people do and in that case, you have no need for any anti-telemetry/spying tool be it Blackbird or any other tool.

    PS I will use any browser in the world but not Chrome, I have more dislike for Google than Microsoft and I stay away from their products and services as much as I can.

    hello,

    Yes, download and install the former. Avoid the arm64.

    Yes, you need HWID to activate. You probably know about the Massgravel page on GitHub

    Thanks Fanboy, I did happen to find that page yesterday. Just finished all my backups.

    HWID activation via the MAS download on Github happens after installation, unless I'm mistaken. I'll see you and edit once I'm on the other side.

    I'm having trouble with logging into my Microsoft account in Edge, even when using a portable version of Edge. If I sign in I find that's signed in even on Windows. When I try to stop the Microsoft account through group policy, I'm unable to sign in and use my account in Edge. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    You most likely forgot to check the "only sign in the separate apps" at signing in in edge and now you made windows to use the MSA, forcing it to stop will not make it work better.
