Hello,
several values are monitored by O&O ShutUp10.

The first regkey is "AllowTelemetry" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection

Please make also sure that the "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" "DiagTrack" service disabled.

Aditionally O&O ShutUp10 checks these two keys:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dmwappushservice
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener

dmwappushservice disable - Google Search

Please note that unfortunately O&O ShutUp 10 cannot prevent that the Windows OS itself changes the Windows configuration.

So if I understand it correctly there is nothing we can do against it?

FWIW ~ reply to my followup with O&O Support .... that my "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" "DiagTrack" service is disabled.

As described, this is not the only key.
Aditionally O&O ShutUp10 checks these two keys:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\dmwappushservice
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener

dmwappushservice disable - Recherche Google

Curious, Changelog does not mention new "Disable telemetry" behavior.

Edit:


Maybe, users are supposed to edit reg keys to achieve "Disable telemetry = On?

Thanks

It is possible that we need to do that, but like you I have no idea how to do that at the moment

O&O ShutUp 10 cannot prevent that the Windows OS itself changes the Windows configuration.

Your screenshot is showing that dmwappushservice is set to manual start. Maybe you want to disable it.

Post #25 in this thread offers a workaround..But personally I think it's too much fiddling to get it to work:

Latest Windows 10 update won't allow me to completely disable telemetry - Page 2 - Windows 10 Support

Page 2 of 3 - Latest Windows 10 update won't allow me to completely disable telemetry - posted in Windows 10 Support: Hi, I have been running O&O ShutUp10 since it was released. No problems. Suggest revert all changes to stock and reboot. Delete the .ini file that O&O makes and the program...

Hello,
for clarification:

If the telemetry toggle gets reseted from green to red after some time, you can consider this as expected behavior.
Because O&O ShutUp 10 doesn't prevent that Windows OS itself changes the Windows configuration back.

Did that workaround work for you?

 

[Morro]

I see they are already starting to repeat sentences, oh well I guess that means that for now they can not solve it, maybe they find a way in the near future.

Happen to me too. 24 hours later, the setting got reverted back to off. Anyone knows how to fix this?

@venustus It say right click to disable inheritenance but I don't see it.

1. Right-Click the folder itself,
2. Click Advanced,
3. Disable Inheritence.

Though I haven't tried it, yet.

You need to look under permissions when you right click on that service...

It seems to be working here for now but it's a fiddly process
