You don't really understand do you? People want to shut up a f running Windows not servicing a Windows image... Many many don't know how to or have enough time.
Hmm you are absolutely correct here my consent comes wrong as i have to confirm whether the person i am suggesting something knows about that or not.
Pl Join this & learn yourself how to do that & My answer to Why is Not Mandatory i was just suggesting its upon you to decide.
So, is it NOT possible to prevent those executable from connecting to the internet without messing around with the ISO and essentially re-installing the OS? And if not, can you point exactly how to do that, as the thread above is particularly long?
kyrcy ...... just look in your router ...... look for IP block / filter .......... maybe in a parental control section .......... and block the IPs you want to block there .
I can also block the IPs in the firewall I use, but I want to prevent the executable from attempting to connect to the internet.

Sure if you only block a specific domain or one IP. Behind the domain name as microsoft.com, dozens of IP addresses are. Enter in the Windows firewall list of IP (NetRange or CIDR) as shown below you will see that everything is blocked. only the great poets write simply and with the heart
IXMas ........ Thanks for your personal opinion . If i understandf you? your claiming that the decades long discussion across the internet about dnsapi.dll was all wrong ? Did you use another computer to look at what goes in and out of your computer ? Are there any hard coded links in the system that arent in pain text ?
comprehensive list. + plus microsoft.com NetRange: 104.208.0.0 - 104.215.255.255 CIDR: 104.208.0.0/13 ctldl.windowsupdate.com NetRange: 209.197.0.0 - 209.197.31.255 CIDR: 209.197.0.0/19 windowsupdate.microsoft.com NetRange: 52.132.0.0 - 52.143.255.255 CIDR: 52.136.0.0/13, 52.132.0.0/14
If you insist on arguing argue with the people that have reported about it and discussed it for decades . Maybe start with a search on this site ? >No! Prove what you say .
