[REPO] Windows 10 TELEMETRY REPOSITORY

How about if you just download and install Edge?

 

in win 10 taskbar with auto-hide option not shows up when app (for example firefox) is maximized

 

if host is win11, script can't remove desktopappinstaller and sechealth because of restricted policy

 

Your host has to be Windows 10

 

freddie-o, thanks for the great script!
-RAM consumption is too high (1.5 GB from the first start and reboot)
-I removed the lines from the script (21h2 ltsc) related to windows time services/tasks (this is too much)

These are MSMG Toolkit's options.
Remove Components =>> Speech Recognition, WinUpdate and so on

this tweak:

Code:

@echo off
chcp 65001 >nul
for /f "tokens=4 delims= " %%i in ('systeminfo ^| find /i "Total Physical Memory"') do (set mem=%%i)
for /f "tokens=1 delims= " %%i in ('echo.%mem%') do (set memgb=%%i)
set /a "memkb=%memgb%*1024*1024"
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control" /v "SvcHostSplitThresholdInKB" /t REG_DWORD /d "%memkb%" /f >nul
exit

 

Homebrew isn't allowed.

 

Ok, the link to download iso is now removed

 

Btw do you think removing these plenty of components will make your OS full of errors?

With my found duplicates script https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/show-duplicates-in-a-sript.88470/

i found just one duplicate key in your script in line 62-138

Spoiler: line is duplicate

reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate" /v "DisableWindowsUpdateAccess" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

a very good job, thanks

and we can add to complete the script :

• Delete or disable Windows firewall defender Service mpssvc (How delete it ???)
  
• Add Disable firewall
• Kb5034441 Fix
• Issue Windows 11( if you are disabling Windows Defender, you also need to disable Smart App Control)
• Lanman sharing service in manual mode
  
• Soft Delete files and folders Edge, Defender, Bing, Copilot

(But there is an issue when you want to delete in the script this mpssvc service,(it says there is not complete at this line..) i can't remove it,
I look it depends on the services needed BFE, and mpsdrv):

Spoiler: Windows Firewall Defender service

rem == windows firewall defender ==
reg delete "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\mpssvc" /f
or may be just disable it:
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\mpssvc" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "4" /f

Spoiler: Add Disable Firewall

rem == add Disable Firewall service ==
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\StandardProfile" /v "EnableFirewall" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\PublicProfile" /v "EnableFirewall" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\SharedAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\DomainProfile" /v "EnableFirewall" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Spoiler: kb503441 fix

rem == KB5034441_FIX ==
reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" /v "WinREVersion" /t REG_SZ /d "10.0.19041.9999" /f

Spoiler: turn off Smart App Control Windows 11

rem == Turn Off Smart App Control Windows 11 ==
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Control\CI\Policy" /v "VerifiedAndReputablePolicyState" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Spoiler: Lanman sharing service

rem == Put Administrative sharing services in manual mode =
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\LanmanServer" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f
reg add "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\LanmanWorkstation" /v "Start" /t REG_DWORD /d "3" /f

At the end of the script you can add:
Edit :Rather at the beginning to the script to allow the keys to be created after the files have been deleted

Spoiler: Soft Delete files and folders Edge, Defender, Bing, Copilot

This was fixed already in the latest script(s)

I had to leave "mpssvc" service alone because deleting it causes the OS to be unstable

Deleting these Services causes instabilty

Code:

AppXSvc
BFE
ClipSVC
camsvc
InstallService
NcbService
PushToInstall
PolicyAgent
mpssvc
Wecsvc
EventLog

This was added already in the latest script(s)

When I have time I'll look more into this

 

you can add at this section:

Spoiler: rem == disable advertising info and tracking app launches ==

reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ClearRecentDocsOnExit" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ShowFrequent" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "ShowRecent" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Spoiler: rem == microsoft edge ==

reg delete "HKLM\SYSHIVE\ControlSet001\Services\MicrosoftEdgeElevationService" /f

and just an improvement;

Spoiler: Open file Explorer on "This PC"

rem == Explorer - Open file explorer on "This PC" ==
reg add "HKLM\SOFTHIVE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "LaunchTo" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

 

Best if I just stick to Telemetry related stuff

I'll have test this first fully on a running system to see how it impacts the OS

 

These entries on my script don't cut it?

Code:

rem == disable advertising info and tracking app launches ==
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AdvertisingInfo" /v "Enabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "Start_TrackProgs" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoRecentDocsHistory" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoResolveTrack" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
reg add "HKLM\NTUSER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" /v "NoInstrumentation" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f

Couldn't find this Service in my OS
What Windows version?
