I found a new registry key that you might find interesting to add in a future update. Only works for 24H2/25H2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy] "LetAppsAccessSystemAIModels"=dword:00000002 Adding this to the registry forces denial of text and image generation access for all apps using on-device Windows AI models. It disables generative AI features in supported apps, prevents apps from prompting users for permission, and blocks related telemetry.
Thanks. I discovered 2 more while I was at it Code: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppPrivacy] "LetAppsAccessSystemAIModels"=dword:0000002 "LetAppsAccessAdvertisingId"=dword:00000002 "LetAppsAccessGenerativeAI"=dword:00000002 I also changed their values to "0" 0 → Disable (force deny) 2 → Let user decide I did the same thing with "disable app permissions" in the disable_telemetry scripts -- changed them all to "0" More corrections to the scripts I'll be double checking the scripts to see if the registry values are correct
I found some more that could be potentially added. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Search] "DisableSearchAds"=dword:00000001 Disables ads and sponsored content in Windows Search across the device, including the Start menu search box, search results, and related features like "search highlights" or dynamic suggestions. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System] "EnableSmartNotifications"=dword:00000000 "DisableSystemPromotions"=dword:00000001 First one turns off proactive AI enhancements in the Notification Center, reducing background processing and potential privacy concerns from behavior tracking. Standard notifications still work. Second one disables system-level promotions and suggestions, blocking content like recommended apps, tips, shortcuts, and ads in the Start menu, Settings app, lock screen, and File Explorer. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection] "DisableAIPoweredDiagnostics"=dword:00000001 This disables AI-powered processing of diagnostic data sent to Microsoft as part of Windows telemetry. This prevents the use of machine learning/AI models to analyze crash reports, performance logs, and other optional diagnostic telemetry for generating insights, recommendations, or aggregated reports (e.g., for bug fixes or feature improvements).
I double checked this from a few sources, and it shows the numbers mean the following: 0 = User in control 1 = Force allow 2 = Force deny (disabled)
Right the original value of "2" is correct. A few sources kept "flip-floping" between 0 and 2 because they claimed it can get confusing i had to manually check myself changing the values from 0 to 2, restarting my computer and checking system settings > privacy and the correct value for force deny is "2"
Spent a few days checking the script(s) There are more additions, corrections and restructuring I will be testing it first on my system before releasing it
Updated disable_telemetry scripts (11.03.2025) https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...lemetry-repository.63874/page-66#post-1686849 Added more registry settings to disable Windows telemetry across multiple script sections Corrected registry key paths -- fixed inconsistent formatting in some sections Restructured several parts of the script
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search] "BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000000 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags\AllFolders\Shell] "FolderType"="NotSpecified"
Updated disable_telemetry_11.10.2025 Changed Windows 10 EnterpriseG, Enterprise and Education disable_telemetry scripts where it does not remove (Store) and all provisioned appx packages anymore but now keeps Calculator and Paint 3D. Also combined the Windows 11 "MSIXFramework" dependency packages together with the disable_telemetry scripts in one ZIP package.
For those who are manually integrating updates in Windows 10 Versions 2004-22H2. You'll need ESU Suppressor (BypassESU X) to install Extended Security Updates https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/abbodi1406s-batch-scripts-repo.74197/page-194#post-1896408
Hi Freddie, How can I reactivate the permission for apps to access the camera, microphone, and other features, or how can I make sure that an app has everything unlocked again? Preferably in Regedit!?? Windows 10
