- Briefly explain your current issue(s)
-
Overheating, telemetry
- Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
-
Blocked hosts, edited registry, gpedit, apps
I have some observations which I would to discuss
My laptop has a 3rd gen. i7 with dual graphics: intel HD 4000 and Nvidia GT650M
1/ after 2 clean installs, I always experience my laptop getting overheated in any windows 10 versions
- in windows 10 version 1511, I fixed the overheating issue by installing the latest NVIDIA driver
- in v1709, installing the NVIDIA driver DIDN'T fix the problem. The laptop kept overheating even at 1-2% of CPU usage
- Installed of the latest drivers, updated the BIOS to the latest version DIDN'T fix
- I almost gave up. Finally, I installed Intel® Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) => the issue was fixed
However, it still feel it run warmer than v1511
Many people on different websites have also complained about the same issue but there was no proper solution
2/ After tweaking and disabling all possible telemetry with hosts file, regedit, gpedit.msc, OOshutup, WPD, some batch files I made and blocking with Comodo Firewall, I noticed
- In v1511, Comodo firewall blocked ~5 connections of svchosts.exe on port 80 to akamai and my ISP's IP addresses, per day
- in v1709, within 30 minutes, comodo firewall blocked 100 connections to random IPs including google (most), microsoft and my ISP on port 80, 443
=> this means the amount of telemetry is a lot more on FCU
any comment how to stop these telemetry?
I have added the hosts file from WindowsSpyBlocker (crazy-max) but I still got a lot of block messages
