    @freddie-o is this a misstype in your scripts?

    Code:
    reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /v "HttpAcceptLanguageOptOut" /t REG_SZ /d "reg add \"HKCU\Control Panel\International\User Profile\" /v \"HttpAcceptLanguageOptOut\" /t REG_DWORD /d \"1\" /f" /f

    No the string is added to the "RunOnce" key so it runs when Windows first boots. If you add it directly to "HKCU" (NTUSER) it gets deleted.

    Mine creates a Local Administrator account, and the @freddie-o one activates the built-in Administrator account.

    What do you mean with offline? And do I add this as a batch file in powerun and run it or run command prompt in powerun and then run it?

    Before installing Windows.
    The script mounts the install wim and disables telemetry so when you clean install Windows, telemetry is already disabled.

    Run disable_telemetry script on an updated install wim because CU restores the System Apps that were disabled by the script

    What about after installing Windows? Is there a script to run then?

    Is there a post that describes everything to be done from the beginning?

    Integrate updates, make new ISO just to keep as safe untouched from anything else, yhou can use DISM manually or use any scripts

    No more. Telemetry is already disabled

    I am asking if there is a script to disable telemetry for installed Windows.

    Yes, you need an untouched iso to start.

    Step 1: Download the desired ISO of Windows 10. Open ISO with 7-zip (for example) and extract the install.wim file (if it is as install.esd, extract it and then convert it to install.wim)

    Step 2: Convert Install.esd to install.wim, if applicable

    Step 3: Download the ABBODI W10UI tool: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/posts/1216064/ and integrate all updates

    Step 4: Put install.wim updated in the same folder with the script and run disable_telemetry.cmd as administrator.

    Step 5: Extract the contents of the original ISO to a folder and copy the install.wim modified to the source folder, replacing install.wim or install.esd

    Step 6: Recreate ISO (it can be with NTite) and install on a virtual machine for testing

    Make sure everything went well


    And that!

    When Windows is already installed some processes cannot be disabled any longer so my script will not work as it should. It can only be done offline.
    Windows telemetry starts on installation during OOBE

    Thank you very much, this is much more clear. I am assuming that the steps for WIndows 11 are the same.

    Thank you, what does your script offer for WIndows 11 Enterprise, if in group policy "Allow Diagnostic Data" is Enabled with Option "Diagnostic data off (not recommended)"?
