[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 94654, post: 983846"] There is much Windows 10\11 telemetry that cannot be disabled, even by disabling firewall rules. The only thing you can do is to not connect to the internet. This has been documented going all the way back to 2015. To learn all of this, you have to research the topic online, read and learn for yourself. There's articles and utilities that have tried to tackle the deeply embedded telemetry but have determined that it cannot be disabled. You are assuming that "advanced" users are giving you correct or complete infos. Microsoft knows all about people trying to block its telemetry and it has publicly stated that some telemetry cannot be disabled or blocked - because Microsoft does not want anyone disabling or blocking it. The other thing that trying to disable Windows telemetry does not solve is application telemetry. That is a completely separate subject. If you are so worried about operating system (and application) telemetry, then drop Windows and adopt a privacy Linux distro. Problem solved. [/QUOTE]
