I believe I have found the way to use IP ranges with the route command. Using the msnbot IP range Daz provided in post #25 as example the syntax would be: Code: route -p add 191.232.139.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 Replace the example range with your own and you're good to go.
After resolving the adresses from Hosts File Block List to IPs i merged the Wilderssecurity List with that IPs. IP List : Code: 8.254.209.0 68.232.34.0 66.119.144.0 65.55.39.0 65.55.252.0 65.55.108.0 65.52.108.0 65.52.100.0 64.4.6.0 64.4.54.0 23.99.10.0 23.218.212.0 23.102.21.0 216.58.209.0 207.68.166.0 207.46.223.0 207.46.194.0 207.46.101.0 207.123.56.0 204.79.197.0 198.78.208.0 194.44.4.0 185.13.160.0 173.194.113.0 168.63.108.0 157.56.91.0 157.56.77.0 157.56.74.0 157.56.23.0 157.56.121.0 157.55.129.0 134.170.58.0 134.170.53.0 134.170.51.0 134.170.185.0 134.170.115.0 131.107.113.0 111.221.29.0 104.82.22.0 104.82.14.0 131.253.18.0 65.55.44.0 50.60.146.0 40.77.228.0 69.31.33.0 65.55.128.0 65.52.161.0 40.77.134.0 131.253.14.0 157.58.211.0 93.184.215.0 157.56.96.0 157.56.57.0 23.192.21.0 40.84.199.0 13.82.28.0 172.217.10.0 23.192.61.0 205.128.74.0 8.12.192.0 23.211.101.0 72.21.81.0 192.229.163.0 63.241.108.0 94.245.121.0 131.253.40.0 23.211.100.0 165.254.0.0 204.13.192.0 65.55.68.0 68.67.178.0 157.56.109.0 31.13.74.0 65.54.226.0 65.55.57.0 98.124.243.0
It uses the Windows IP Tables to route (afaik outbound) traffic of specific IP ranges to Localhost. I edited the list to show the ranges, not single IPs.
@s1ave77, perhaps the popular "O&O Shut Up Windows 10" or OOSU10.exe program deserve a place in this Telemetry Repo. No?
Nope, the REPO is about how-to-do-it-yourself and there is not much documentation what these tools actually do. For exactly that reason they are neither promoted nor recommended here.
To find out what OO STFU does, simply get Regmon from Sysinternals and watch the settings that get changed.
Since it makes no sense to uninstall appx and the store and have Windows still offering new crap at first intenet contact, i just checked the reg setting and it seems to prevent the advertising: Code: reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent" /v "DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures" /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
In RS2 15063 the list of WinSxs packs is quite shorter than the ones for the predecessors, so it would be interesting to gather the changes. The list above collects the findings so far. Any info is apreciated .
From what I have gathered, it works only on Enterprise and Education though, but then again MS promises, that uninstalled apps will not come back again.
