Windows 11 Telemetry

I like
you can just copy paste the commands you like and build your own script.
So you don't need to trust a 3rd party tool.

Disable "Network Store Interface Service" and Windows will assume that here is no internet, thus very little telemetry.

You can also block certain domains via DNS, HOSTS or a firewall.

That service got to many dependencies to safely disable. If you disable it, then also the Windows Firewall, Dns client, dhcp client, workstation, etc will stop working..

Exactly, you will get a rock solid internet without any interruptions or silly optimizations.

I have made a powershell script, it will block windows telemetry domains and ips with hosts file, firewall and persistent routes. I am using the telemetry sources from two popular github projects. So the chance of something breaking is very low. But you can add domains to a whitelist, if there are some problems. Also, you can always undo the changes, because before the script makes any changes, it creates a backup of the hosts file, firewall and persistent routes.

I know its impossible to block all telemetry from microsoft, but luckily we can minimize it. I have a lot more scripts that I have made over time, I will add them all to my github now.

i used the Win10/11 debloat script from GitHub which disables telemetry as well.
also i have 44 services disabled and locked out while removing as much of MS software as possible by Revo Uninstaller.
then clean up the registry with ccleaner after Revo has finished.
but i will download and have a try of your scripts, Cheers Steve ..
