    Aren't the url/ips essential to the telemetry service hardcoded in some dll, and bypass the host file? Also what's the point of blacklisting urls like the hotmail sub domains? lol.

    hi
    I have ran your batch file , reg file and the power shell apps command and copied the hosts file back to original dir , is that all?
    or there is some service left to enable in order to get a complete uninstall of this "destroy windows spying tool ".

    I solved, launching "services" and set as "manual" the Windows update service...


    With the latest tool 1.4.2 also Windows Search bar is missed...

    Now I use Classic Shell v4.2.3 that is compatible with W10

    How come 0.0.0.0 is not used in the program shows 127.0.0.1 in the host file?

    Good question

    0.0.0.0 is faster :)

    That's why I used that on my script

    So I guess I could change everything in the host file to 0.0.0.0 ?

    All 0 basically makes it die outright. 127 will attempt to connect, likely wait for request, then die as localhost isn't serving it up.

    I'm going to block 90 domains via HOSTs, 6 IPs via Firewall.

    Isn't the whole idea of the whitelist in dnsapi.dll that it bypasses any sort of blocking method? Or are you using a 3rd party firewall? And what addresses are you blocking?
