So why is KB3135445 included in this list?

zelmor · 2016-07-25T09:30:30Z

I have also written a batch script that removes a list of telemetry and nagware updates, and then uses a powershell module, installed separately, to silence said updates automatically on the Windows Update UI. Feel free to submit commits in case new KBs are rolled out. I am planning to keep this updated.

Little error (copy/paste ?) :

echo Uninstalling KB3133977 (buggy update)

adam2792 · 2016-08-02T22:26:52Z

Why is 3050265 and 3065987(replaces the previous) included? this actually allows one to block windows 10 via group policy. Uninstalling it would break those policys and programs like Never10.

I also have questions for the reasoning of having 3102810 in this list. I cant find anything anywhere that says its related to windows 10 or tracking, only that it reduces high cpu and disk usage caused by windows update.

3139923 is listed as a GWX update When it is not. It fixes some things with msi repairs, and only causes issues if 3072630 Is not installed. Since 3072630 is not in this list 3139923 shouldn't be either.

I would suggest to sort the updates on KB in all scripts and all subsequent comments to avoid tedious comparison work

StarSphere · 2016-09-05T07:08:11Z

Zelmor, thanks for your great code. I ran the batch file according to your directions on a Windows 7 Home Professional 64 bit machine. The removal of updates went smoothly. However, once the program reached the hiding updates section, I received many error messages about how the computer would not run further code without digital signatures.

bw4518 · 2016-09-05T10:54:53Z

Anyone here with updated list of spying updates? Most comprehensive script was probably aegis-voat but it is not worked on anymore.
It's free out there to be forked by someone and continued https://github.com/th3power/aegis-voat

Elliott-Green · 2016-11-23T19:26:59Z

@StarSphere What kind of code was you trying to run afterwards?

I found this script to work perfectly for my problem. Telemetery was causing 100% load on my SSD, and I had to get rid of it. Fast.

gwt10 · 2016-11-24T18:43:02Z

I'm not sure I'd want to delete KB971033 since it involves Windows Activation for your license key. The rest I have no problem with.

@Elliott-Green, you ran Zelmor's script and didn't run into any problems?

jdubner · 2017-01-22T00:20:14Z

@gwt10 I ran the script on two different Win-7 PCs and KB971033 was deleted with no issues on the "Genuinousity" of Windows.

@xvitaly Thank you for your hard work and for sharing.

Thank You Guys ....I am old school on low key now, trying to evade all Microsoft pushing updates. I am currently migrating from Vista to Windows 7. I need this. Thanks..

ymo1965 · 2017-04-26T07:47:50Z

Great script, thanks. Have been using Anti-spy beacon 1.6 and noticed there are two entries in the 'Optional' tag that only seem to be temporarily blocked. They always come back after you re-run this app. Don't have any other info as the program doesnt seem to show it. They are 'Office 15 (2013) Telemetry Scheduled Tasks' and 'Office 16 (2016) Telemetry Scheduled Tasks'. Would be nice for these to be added. I have noticed after using your script that one entry in Spy-beacon disappeared, So maybe removing these 'Office' telemetry entries maybe possible. All the Best,

@levicki +100 man

jbruchon · 2018-05-30T12:46:24Z

It would be nice to have a list that exclusively deals with telemetry updates instead of including every update that anyone else has a problem with. I don't want to remove non-telemetry updates. It should not be called "remove telemetry updates" when it removes so much more than that.

BYTE0ME · 2018-05-30T14:17:57Z

@AACJ. If you are still around: How can I log execution errors when running your batch file?

TNW9imKLC3fv · 2019-02-13T06:03:37Z

Hi, this of course has a fair amount of duplication, but before condensing this down I thought it would be sensible to make sure that all the available alternate sources of information are credited (especially since this Gist has not been updated since 2016 and there's no way for us to push updates to it - if anyone has created a current version of this please link it!).

Three line gaps are between different information sources. This is a collation of around two weeks work on and off looking into this when I can find time, like many others I will finally be making the jump to focus on Linux soon, since we have been given a deadline in the form of security updates for Windows 7 from Microsoft stopping and putting computers at risk in 2020 - probably PureOS or Linux Mint. I've noted the very welcome move from many games developers to push to adding Linux or emulation support now.
I hope it helps people:

      General improvements are made to support upgrades to a later version of Windows.
      This update installs a new Group Policy object that enables you to block upgrades to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update.
      Microsoft is making Windows 10 available for free for one year from the date of availability to Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 customers for non-Enterprise editions. If you have Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 Pro deployed in your organization, Windows 10 will be offered to you. Computers that have this Group Policy object enabled will never detect, download, or install an upgrade to the latest version of Windows.
      You can configure this Group Policy object by using Group Policy (if the update is installed and if you use the updated WindowsUpdate.admx file by copying the file from where the editing policy is located). You can also do this by going to Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update, double-clicking Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update, and then clicking Enabled.
      Policy path Computer Configuration / Administrative Templates / Windows Components / Windows Update
      Policy setting Turn off the upgrade to the latest version of Windows through Windows Update (enabled or disabled)
      To suppress this offer through the registry, set the following registry key:

You can't block above names with hosts file. They all were hardcoded in this DLL:
%WINDIR%\system32\dnsapi.dll

All text typed on the keyboard is stored in temporary files, and sent (once per 30 mins) to:
oca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.net
pre.footprintpredict.com

Telemetry is sent once per 5 minutes, to:
vortex.data.microsoft.com

Typing the name of any popular movie into your local file search starts a telemetry process that indexes all media files on your computer and transmits them to:
df.telemetry.microsoft.com
reports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.com
cs1.wpc.v0cdn.net
vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
pre.footprintpredict.com

When a webcam is first enabled, ~35mb of data gets immediately transmitted to:

vortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com
i1.services.social.microsoft.com.nsatc.net

This behaviour still occurs after Cortana is fully disabled/uninstalled.

Interestingly, if Cortana is enabled, the voice is first transcribed to text, then the transcription is sent to:

While the inital reflex may be to block all of the above servers via HOSTS, it turns out this won't work: Microsoft has taken the care to hardcode certain IPs, meaning that there is no DNS lookup and no HOSTS consultation. However, if the above servers are blocked via HOSTS, Windows will pretend to be crippled by continuously throwing errors, while still maintaining data collection in the background. Other than an increase in errors, HOSTS blocking did not affect the volume, frequency, or rate of data being transmitted.

**I don't think a hosts file can stop this crap. They just use random odd urls to use telemetry.

I really have done a great deal to stop all this and they still found ways around it. and this is just win7, imagine what 10 is doing**

Hello again. :)

Okay.. Here is my version of "be aware of list"..

This list is focused on Win7, but there are also some Win8 KB's
It's KB's both for telemetry, Win10 related and some just a little naughty and can mess with the computer. As well as all KB's on windows update clients are listed at the end.
And a link to MS to windows update history and the KB's up to now.

I don't like MS ways to embed telemetry and the OS upgrade, so I have edited some posts in scheduler which collects the data. As a side effect, it has also calmed down the hard drive's activity. I also have edited a few posts in some reg files.
Since my operating system is in Swedish, then I didn't do any print screens to post.
And the most important Disabled WUC windows update client's automatic downloads of updates
I have also added two domain names to win telemetry that I have blocked in my Host file. And I have blocked googles spying also.

I hope this list is helpful and it's okay that i typed the KB-numbers in sequence rather than in categories. If you all think the list is okay/good, then I can put it in my first post in this thread, so it will be easy to find in the future.

Regards Marie :)

Hello again :)

To compliment your list of active KB updates, I was offered all of these from my list.
Some of them i did install.. It's not a pure bad, bad list, it's only a to be aware of the list

Note:: this is on a reinstalled HP with factory recovery discs OEM win7 Pro x64 SP1. So it may vary for you others with other OEM or retail installations.
This is with only IE9 installed. After I install IE11 it may be more.. But i have to wait 6 more hours so it becomes new date so I easy can identify sneaky KB's that comes with IE11

Hi any updated to 2019 07 01 scripts will be available? there is plenty of sad activities happening with updates for win 7 by MS

EdwinPe · 2019-07-11T18:54:54Z

I'm new to this site and don't program, but I was attracted to this thread because I'd like to know how to disable any spying my Windows 7 Ultimate might be doing. I don't fully understand all above, is it as simple as a program you guys created that I download, run and it removes the KB's and stuff? (Also, I use Brave and Firefox web browsers.)

I want to die after making this. I think I spent 6 hours sorting through this gist. I've genuinely lost a lot of faith in humanity. If you're reading this, Just stop. Go learn to use linux with a non-systemd distro and just stop using windows. I beg you. I already use linux for everything but gaming, and once i learn to game on linux, im finished with windows completely.. Go watch SomeOrdinaryGamer's video on Linux gaming with Windows VMs. Just dont do this. If you are hell bent on using Windows 7, then honestly just install a non-SP1 windows 7 disc and install only things you absoultely need for the system to work like .NET 4.8 and DirectX and all that stuff. Don't install any updates, even security ones. If you are not smart enough to not download malware or keep your computer physically protected you dont need a COMPOOTER in the first place probably.

Good bye forever. May Bill Gates burn in hell.

I want to die after making this. I think I spent 6 hours sorting through this gist. I've genuinely lost a lot of faith in humanity. If you're reading this, Just stop. Go learn to use linux with a non-systemd distro and just stop using windows. I beg you. I already use linux for everything but gaming, and once i learn to game on linux, im finished with windows completely.. Go watch SomeOrdinaryGamer's video on Linux gaming with Windows VMs. Just dont do this. If you are hell bent on using Windows 7, then honestly just install a non-SP1 windows 7 disc and install only things you absoultely need for the system to work like .NET 4.8 and DirectX and all that stuff. Don't install any updates, even security ones. If you are not smart enough to not download malware or keep your computer physically protected you dont need a COMPOOTER in the first place probably.

thank you

Thanks for that @TNW9imKLC3fv and @GentlemansKiller.

Wouldn't it be easier to start with Windows 7 enterprise, then finish it for good by disabling all updates via the hosts file?

I recovered all of the money they stole from me. They messed with the wrong person when they scammed me. If you want to recover your funds from magnum options as well as other binary options brokers like 24options, reach out to recoveryexpert326 at Gmail dot com, They were true to their word when they said to help recover my money from brokers, They've recovered a cumulative more than $50,000
