    Good question

    Well to begin this isn't my program
    the developer is @nummerok

    I coded the script myself though ;)

    With the TNBT, it doesn't remove all the telemetry
    for example the host file is still left untouched, so the computer is still able to send information to Microsoft servers
    Also it doesn't delete the services for diagnostics and feedback...

    echo "" > C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl

    Thank you for the domain list...
    I added to router firewall and found that it kill also windows update (at least) in w7 and XP computers:
    so I had to remove this domains for the update to work ( Hope telemetry is not going on that address to ).
    Code:
    statsfe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    sls.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net
    fe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.net

    That is extremely interesting :D

    For those 3 domains, there not telemetry related...

    Those are meant for when the machine has to talk to windows update to get correct drivers, etc.

    What's pretty neat now is that if you have multiple computers running windows 10, you can shut down windows update on all of them simply by blocking the domains in the router :D

    It looks like on long term deleting that 3 FQDN names from the block list did not help probably because my firewall is updating-resolving FQDN-IP all the time... in the end I added another MS update pass list in front of MS block list with:
    Code:
    download.windowsupdate.com
     update.microsoft.com
    so this solved update for w7 and XP (POS) but NOT for w8.1 ( Enterprise )... this is interesting.
