have had updates off and tried a manual update that seemed to run forever, would like to get updated soon, last update was 7/2015, is there a list of the updates to remove/or disable that has telemetry in them before I run the update fix kb172614 ?
Here are a few lists. Most of the updates overlap but some groups are more conservative than others and elect to block/uninstall more updates. (I'm sorry I had to add spaces to be able to post the links since my post count is low.) http ://www .overclock.net/t/1587577/windows-7-updates-list-descriptions-telemetry http ://forum .notebookreview.com/threads/windows7-8-updates-to-hide-to-prevent-windows-10-upgrade-disable-telemetry.780476/ http ://www .ghacks.net/2016/09/12/ancile-block-spying-on-windows-7-and-8/ Also, if you don't want to install the entire KB3172614 rollup abbodi1406 has extracted just the component that patches windows update.
