    You know what? It might be a good idea to route block those and hosts block the other ones in case they change the servers.

    Agreed we need to skim down on the List to see what should and shouldn't be there.

    However we have a starting point now we can go off of.

    Jinjie we go for a multivector to see which is the best way to handle it!

    Cert error is due to little typo:

    Code:
    certutil -addstore "Disallowed" "$PWD/0msitwww2.crt"
    Code:
    certutil -addstore "Disallowed" "$PWD/msitwww2.crt"
    Code:
    Set-ItemProperty -path "Registry::HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows" -Name "CEIPEnable" -Type "DWord" -Value "0x00000000"
    in line 38.

    Also hosts file is backed up correctly but there's nothing added to it.

    Regarding the not added lines to hosts file, you missed one line from Mr Jinjes original:

    Code:
    Function Hosts_Updater (){
    
    $a = Get-Content "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts"
    $b = Get-Content "$PWD\ip.list.txt"
    
    ForEach ($i in $b) {
    $a += "127.0.0.1          $i"
    $a | Set-Content "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts"
    }}
    Hosts_Updater
    
    
    With that line added all entries are added correctly to hosts file :flowers2:.

    Now only one reg path seems to be missing:

    Code:
    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.4.9841]
    (c) 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
    
    C:\Windows\System32>cd /d "C:\Users\s1ave77\Desktop\###.TELEMETRY.###"

    Sigh I'm still working on my powershell as its somewhat flaky given how new I am to it.
