If we all would believe MS, there would be no need for such threads . The counts tell another story .
Been using a clean CU install for a day with OneDrive autostart and scheduled task disabled and already had a sudden prompt to log in to OneDrive while doing completely other stuff. I do have that option in folder options.
Code: ::Turn off File Explorer ads reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced" /v "ShowSyncProviderNotifications" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f ::Turn off Start Menu suggestions reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager" /v "SystemPaneSuggestionsEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f ::Turn off "Get tips, tricks and suggestions as you use Windows" reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager" /v "SoftLandingEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f ::Turn off Game Bar Tips reg add "HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\GameBar" /v "ShowStartupPanel" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f ::Disable Lockscreen Ads reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager" /v "RotatingLockScreenEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager" /v "RotatingLockScreenOverlayEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
Thanks, I did not know about this one, that makes it 5 places Windows shows ADs now, store/apps excluded. For the record, disabling lockscreen ADs: Code: reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager" /v "RotatingLockScreenEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ContentDeliveryManager" /v "RotatingLockScreenOverlayEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
@Qurajber i remember i got a similar problem, try one by one those that say msn ! i can tell you one of those are. exclude this i may miss some: #0.0.0.0s.gateway.messenger.live.com #0.0.0.0apps.skype.com #0.0.0.0m.hotmail.com
@ above The list might be a bit too straight for MSN/Skype as it seems . Will check to exclude them when i know what's needed for those.
Telemetry Hosts List This is part of my hosts lists. It's intended to block telemetry and such, trying to avoid services like Skype, Windows Update, Msn, Outlook & Live logins, etc... It's a bit extensive, but I hope you find it useful. (And of course, there is no perfect list ) pastebin.com/d3599C0q
so at first thread are this. Akamai related and not recommend to block so far: and some ip lists, after i just install rs2 testing without block host file, i was able to pick some ips.
