Yes, thats why I asked about https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...lemetry-repository.63874/page-52#post-1556279. if OP is still up to date i'll just do the manual steps there then.
@freddie-o thanks for posting all the scripts and stuff. I've followed your guide and it seems my system is safe for now All I did differently was reuse the firewall from my Win7 install and add more stuff to the hosts file because the firewall lets through DNS queries by Windows spyware, like when changing screen res as mentioned ITT (it didn't leak anything else like TCP packets, so that was an annoyance, not a data leak.) I haven't installed Office yet so there's probably more s**t that needs to be added to hosts My paranoid question: is there a stronger way than Wireshark to check traffic from inside the OS? I could repeat the setup in a VM and run Wireshark on the host OS but this took me long enough already. Is it known if Win10 can/does sneak some traffic past Wireshark?
I don't use hosts file. I also haven't used Wireshark. I just configure (Symantec) Firewall to "Allow only application traffic" and "Prompt before allowing outbound traffic" https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...lemetry-repository.63874/page-73#post-1724179

DoNotUseWebResults 1 is the same as ConnectedSearchUseWeb 0 which is in the disable_telemetry script Code: reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search" /v "ConnectedSearchUseWeb" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f I always disable SafeSearch even in my Browsers. I don't like filtering my searches
another style is like: reg load HKLM\SOFTHIVE mount\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE reg load HKLM\SYSHIVE mount\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM reg load HKLM\NTUSER mount\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT rem some settings rem ==block 1== rem ==block 2== reg load HKLM\SOFTHIVE reg load HKLM\SYSHIVE reg load HKLM\NTUSER
Yes that is another option You mean Code: reg unload HKLM\SOFTHIVE reg unload HKLM\SYSHIVE reg unload HKLM\NTUSER
First off, amazing info, thank you everyone for this info. Would like to add a couple of options that I have found very useful. For Telemetry, I use gpedit.msc / admintemplates / wincomponents / data collection / corporate server option and black hole the server address / 0.0.0.0 Also at the same gpo spot, use the proxy server for sending telemetry and back hole it / 0.0.0.0 To kill cortana and a few other things, I gpedit and software restriction policy for the path and delete the search service. I use searcheverything which blows away all other local computer searches I have ever used, super light weight and fast as you can type. www voidtools.com I can't prop out the apps below enough.. total control. zero ads, you can go authoritative for microsoft and just black hole the telemetry domains and conditional forward the rest. Technitium DNS server. Does DNS Blackholes, DNS over HTTPS, TLS, QUIC, pretty much all protocols, even has a DHCP server for the network. Add custom block lists, DNS servers, protocols to and from, its only a couple of megabytes, can run it locally, has logs, stats, it's a pretty amazing free DNS server that by the same dude who made the Technitium MAC address changer that's been around and updated for a couple of decades. It's as simple or as complex as you want it to be but is all graphic provides mostly drop down list options and a nice generic simple interface, full logging, root server recursion, all common RFC defined DNS functions and protocols, and a full fledged backup, super simple to use and it beats slowing down your comp by clogging up your host file. Check it out, I'm a geek and it's surprisingly amazing for free and open source, it's tiny and light weight enough to use on every computer on your network which I do, and then just pass a backup around when I make a config change because it's a selective backup, you can back up a single config, or everything to return from a clean install. technitium.com/dns/ On home page he also host and Let's Encrypt client so you can get all the free HTTPS certs you want easily and on the spot. I know this isn't and android thread however pretty much everything above for android is Rethink DNS also open source / github rethinkdns.com/

Disable Telemetry in Windows 10, 11 & Server (Offline)
@freddie-o The script is good, but it would be good to mention that it disables remove Windows Firewall, updates and Windows Defender and Edge I think it would be better to make both a script that disables only everything that concerns telemetry and that which is not important, and a second script that moves forward. advance like remove edge , disable firewall, remove defender The primary objective was telemetry not features !
