Improving Windows 10 Privacy
I simply don't need all of the web enabled "features" on all of my windows 10 devices. (Save data, privacy, less network footprint etc... ) So, after a little sleuthing I have cobbled together a *.bat file to reduce this a bit. A good portion comes from the comments section of the following website from users named Wade and Alup:
https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-disable-telemetry-and-data-collection-in-windows-10/
I have added a few of my own edits, such as, the ability to revert the changes, turning on/off the web search feature in the search bar. I also commented out where the script attempts to block microsoft urls. (You can uncomment them to enable the blocking if you want)
You will need to prevent your anti-virus (at least if windows defender) from removing/blocking the bat file.
You can review, copy and paste the following into a file (script.bat). Then run it from administrator mode in the command prompt (cmd)
I take no responsibility for any harm this may cause. It works well on my systems. (The cloud disabled ones) You will likely need to re-run it after updates. Don't expect this to completely stealth your computer on a network either...Do your own network audits!
