[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1111154, member: 61892"] That is the reason I remove it and I apply my remediation settings at every shutdown, since Windows updates (+SFC) love to restore them. :rolleyes: [CODE]takeown /s %computername% /u %username% /f "%WinDir%\System32\smartscreen.exe" icacls "%WinDir%\System32\smartscreen.exe" /grant:r %username%:F taskkill /im smartscreen.exe /f del "%WinDir%\System32\smartscreen.exe" /s /f /q[/CODE] Assuming that it is smartscreen.exe sending info only, not MsMpEng.exe or svchost.exe MS philosophy is, if you fail, try and try again. Windows is great in reinstalling installed updates. 😅 I have uninstalled and blocked Recall via a presumed domain based on copilot, but not sure if it helps, since I have never used it. maybe someone, who actually uses it, can confirm, please?!
