    Thanks, could you possible post the text script current and then new version to this forum like you used to do. It is much safer to copy the raw text than use a 3rd party download site. Or even better, do you have a git repo somewhere I can follow?

    The current scripts are linked in my OP
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...lemetry-repository.63874/page-66#post-1686849

    By 3rd party download sites, you mean Mega and Mediafire where you download the zip files from?
    I uploaded them there for easier access to all the files and supposedly it should be better to already have the ready-made scripts instead of copy-pasting it to create your own script and possibly make mistakes in the process (for some). Less work for me too --- updating all the scripts + posts everytime the're updated

    Keep the current scripts that you downloaded from the links in my OP then when the updates come out you can compare them.

    I don't have a git repo (maybe in the future?)

    Is harder than uploading folder packs to 2 different 3rd party download sites? These site are full of virus etc so it's a risk to blindly download from them.

    I just tested, this does not happen using win10 Enterprise version, only previously it happens on win10pro version...so best avoid pro version.

    You're not blindly downloading my zip files. The links i shared are direct links to the zip files i uploaded to my personal account on those sites (unless you don't know what you're doing and clicking suspicious links)
    Where do you get your scripts from or are they older scripts that were posted before?

    PS. The next updated scripts will have a lot of changes to them

    I tested my scripts in Home, Pro, Enterprise, EnterpriseG and LTSC (it should work with other editions) with no problems. It has nothing to do with edition.
    If you didn't modify my script and it applied offline on a mounted image without any errors it should work as intended

    Do you get paid per download or something like that on those download sites?

    Updated disable_telemetry scripts
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...lemetry-repository.63874/page-66#post-1686849

    Major changes

    Addded registry policies (for further telemetry lockdown) to:
    -- "Disable Copilot (if present)" in Windows 10
    -- "Disable Windows Copilot, AI features, Recall, Click-to-Do, and all related data collection/telemetry functionality (if present)" in Windows 11
    -- "Disable AI features and functionality (if present)" in LTSC 2024
    -- disable diagnostics and feedback
    -- disable typing insights, handwriting personalization, clipboard sync & speech recognition

    Removed registry policies (that were either deprecated, non-critical, obsolete, unnecessary or not directly related to disabling telemetry) from:
    -- disable smartscreen
    -- disable windows firewall
    -- disable windows update, delivery optimization, reserved storage and new features and enhancements
    -- restrict internet communication
    -- disable error reporting
    -- delete telemetry scheduled tasks

    Removed:
    -- disable recording of event logging and tracing (related to Group Policy)
    -- prevent windows from setting the time automatically

    Some registry keys were merged with other blocks to better organize and clean up the script

    Changed Debugger for executables from "Systray.exe" to "cmd.exe /c exit" which is cleaner and more effective
    Added more executables to "disable executables that collect and transmit telemetry"
    Added "disable executables that enforce or repair windows update"

    Not sure if this should be asked here, but I noticed several windows executables requesting internet access, such as:

    actionsserver.exe
    MpDefenderCoreService.exe
    office2rclient.exe
    officeclicktorun.exe
    sdxhelper.exe
    smartscreen.exe
    systemsettings.exe

    Do these really need internet access or are they telemetry related?

    I only allow applications that need to access the internet

    And how can you tell, apart from obvious ones such as browsers, which applications really need to access the internet?

    Depends on your scenario. If I'm not sure what the application does I research first the purpose.
