Guys, you won't believe this... I found it... the reg key that disables the telemetry... Code: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection] "AllowTelemetry"=dword:00000000 Tested working on Pro. Key normally doesn't exist unless you use enterprise to disable telemetry in group policy settings.
Do we still need to disable all the other settings (DiagTrack, dmwappushsvc, etc) and deny acess to AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl as stated in the first post, or that setting is enough?
This setting alone greys out the data and typed info options in Settings->Privacy, so I'd suggest it's enough to stop all the telemetry
hiigh five bro. it was a new registry path, my mistake. so these 2 then Code: REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection\ /v AllowTelemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection\ /v AllowTelemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Awesome buddy. Thank you very much. I have made a reg file and will be running it on all comps I know.
The top one you have listed there disables the text sending stuff (auto-fill data) etc, but doesn't disable telemetry Bottom one disables both the auto-fill data and the app data (basically all telemetry) so you just need the one key.
Just because we've figured out the telemetry disable doesn't mean we're out of the privacy woods yet. Remember, in win8.x, they had like 3 different reporting ips for kms activation and that one mark monitor name server for activation. We definitely need to keep an eye on this Windows 10 and do some more sleuthing.
