For those who want to be completely off the grid: - Disable Remote Management (Unless you really need it, so be sure to use a decent VPN) - Disable Services "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" (Build 14300) & "dmwappushsvc" - In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection: Add New DWORD (32-bit Value) named "AllowTelemetry" → Set value to "0" (zero) - In "hosts" file (new protocol version redirection address), add the following lines: For O.S.: 0.0.0.0dmd.metaservices.microsoft.com 0.0.0.0settings-win.data.microsoft.com 0.0.0.0vortex-win.data.microsoft.com For Skype Desktop: 0.0.0.0g.msn.com 0.0.0.0rad.msn.com 0.0.0.0apps.skype.com Enjoy privacy once again!
So it looks like they fcuked up the Wireless LAN Service in this build. So I'm off the grid anyways. Anybody success with wireless? Is there a fix yet?
My PC got the problem, too. It said the driver script file error, but the wireless card worked well on Win 10 build 14322. I think I will revert 2012 R2 Eval or TP4.
Tracking information is periodically collected by the O.S. and sent to these servers. I included the addresses, and verified network connection traffic stats in the "Performance" tab under Task Manager (showing 0 Kbps), as well as network activity in Performance Monitor for suspicious addresses. So far, no issues. It's also advisable to create an effective list of servers to be blocked in a first firewall device protecting the network infrastructure. *Note: In Win10 it's much worse. Please refer to this article for further info (still cannot post links, so please copy & paste) → init.sh/?p=236 [Edit] Found this in-depth assessment of telemetry as well: no_short_urls_allowed/hsz8hk9
best way I guess if doable would be at the router level blocking just in case someone can't boot i ntfs trough uefi and rufus doesn't work like on this notebook here's the alternative (maybe it's been posted a lot but to remind) extract ISO to a folder then open command after that enter sources and do this: Code: Dism /Split-Image /ImageFile:C:\data.wim /SWMFile:D:\imaging\install.swm /FileSize:4000 (1MB before FAT32 file size top to make it less prone to failing) After then find a pen drive you can erase and use rufus but to format it as fat32 then use disk management to make sure it's bootable (active) and copy all the files from the folder you extracted before. If it's not bootable press windows key+R and on run type diskpart type list disk and you'll see disks and partitions, mine comes up by guessing the size (16GB) as disk 2, then type select disk 2 (was my case, yours could be different) type select partition 1 type active type quit that's it, it ain't easy but somehow this works
There is no need to split install.wim or convert to esd - it is 3.8 GB If you have a router with OpenWRT you can simply use someonewhocares.org/hosts to block telemetry without any registry or group-policy "hacks"
The only thing I can't seem to get working with Windows Server 2016 is Chromecast. Figured out how to add Wireless As Admin run PowerShell, Type Get-WindowsFeature *Wireless* (including both * symbols) to show the Wireless LAN Service. In order to install it, type Install-WindowsFeature -Name Wireless-Networking Once installed, type Restart-Computer Go to your services, look for, WLAN AutoConfig Change it to Automatic Click Apply Click Start. Click OK. This allows me to connect to my wireless. But beyond here, I still cannot get Chromecast to work.
How did you upgrade from TP4 to TP5 ? 1) while in the GUI you ran setup.exe from the TP5 dvd ? 2) you boot your PC with the TP5 dvd, then select upgrade ? 3) some other means ? thanks.
You have to run the installer while booted into the OS that you're going to upgrade. Running it from a mounted ISO is fine.
