For Windows. That should be part of the title.

Does anyone know if there is a tool to safely remove telemetry executables from Win10? Is it possible to remove these?

I saw this tool being recommended in r/windows10. I have tried it, no issues so far, though haven't tested to see if it does disable telemetry.

I wish all governments did audits like this. Either the software would get less invasive, or we'd see Linux everywhere, wins all around.

How bad is it that not even governments can use windows without the data vacuum being turned on? And they need to commission these investigations to even figure out what that means?

One has to love those little parasite riding a parasite schemes. Like a fleas flea.

I provide a tool, cutting you off from revenue- now you can ride the service rodeo all you want- but if you pay well, i shall cease to update, i might even reactivate the telemetry by accident.

The point of the report above is that you can NOT disable all telemetry, not even in the Enterprise version of Windows.

This tool is great. Only problem is you have to regularly re-run it because Windows Update will revert changes.
