I'm going to see what it has and what I can do with it. It seems as though it could be useful for
someone who knows what he's doing and that is probably not me but, I also like to learn so.
I'll give it shot . Thanks.
This reminded me of O & O's Shutup 10

I really don’t think it would be that complicated. Tick what you want and probably click apply at the bottom. Looks the same as 200 other apps. Winareo and many others. Just a cruder interface? I could be wrong.
And yeah, exactly like O&O shutup

As I realized, registry tweak apps have many common tweak options and compete with each other by offering slightly different options. You have to play with them and see which one suits you!

Actually , It's not so much Windows but, all the other programs that are necessary to have Fun with that really
hits me off. Like Intel and it's telemetry and uses so much CPU time that all other programs slow down. I just
end those tasks but, if I could find reg tweaks for those then, I would be much happier.

I think that I will wait after Tuesday to try this.

So, you're going to be a beta tester for windows?
I always defer updates until the end of the month.
I have too much to lose on this device.

Can’t you stop those processes from running at startup? I know you can prevent Microsoft Telemetry.

Nope, I tried but it seems it's inside there app and no Off switch. Can't find it in the folders either so,
I just end tasks (there's two) in Task Manager. Not a big deal now that I know about it but, a reg tweak
would be nice so not to have to think about it.

Dig through task scheduler. Intel likes to bury garbage in there for scheduled launches.

Are you able to see what packages it removes for those 2 apps? I’d rather just run those manually than install another app remover program.

That will take allot of time and cut in my gaming time

Seriously, it's part of Intel Command Center

And, to tell you the truth, I don't know if i really need this.
I have a Mux switch on this well, both notebooks and I Only use dGPU.
I have tried a balanced approach using both and the iGPU is just Awe full.

This is what it reports.

So, it's still lives in the programs folder but, I stop it from starting when I boot.
Would it be safe to just uninstall it you think? It doesn't seem to have any valuable
use on my notebook.

Does the intel telemetry start if the command centre doesnt?

Flashorn · Nov 13, 2023

OK, so, we're going off course again. let's just get back to the task at hand.
I always find a way to do this. Sorry for that atinfo.

Not really, it’s all hack related. Maybe there is an option in the sexy app?

If I were to try it , I always do a backup before using any kind of app or hack.

Usually but not every time. I have noticed that when Firefox starts to take time loading. I then I know it's
Telemetry from Intel and just end tasks. Like I said, it's not a big deal now that I know.

No, I mean the Windows Updates. I use restore points if I need and have a good clone that
is easily swapped if needed. Restore Points have always been good for me so far.

Josey Wales · Nov 13, 2023

I have never used restore points as they do not always work, I prefer a Complete Image using Macrium Reflect., but this is a discussion for another time.
