Windows Script to Remove All Windows 10 Telemetry Updates

On August 25, 2015, I finally found a solution to my Windows 10 incompatibility problem/privacy issues at Hakspek.com. Today, October 6, 2015, I noticed that this extremely useful site has been removed. Please use this information at your own risk if you’re are concerned with the problems that Windows 10 may create for your operating system… My #Windows10 Twitter Feed

Microsoft users were furious when they learned that Windows 10 is basically spyware and lots of users were asking for a fix. Ask and ye shall receive.

Below is the list of “updates” delivered by Windows Update as “telemetry and customer experience improvements”. If you don’t want to send your “telemetry” to Microsoft, remove the updates with the script provided and do not install them again. Hakspek would only advise using this code if you are technical and know what you are doing. There is a risk that the lack of updates could end up damaging your computer. We have asked Microsoft for comment, but it has not yet responded.

In order to rid your system of Microsoft sponsored spyware, follow the steps below.

  1. Press Windows button on keyboard and type ‘CMD’

  3. Select ‘Yes’ if prompted with Windows UAC
  4. Copy script on github link
    (Thanks to user ‘WindowsLies’ in comments below for adding to my original script, disabling updates from returning. Visit his site built specifically for this script https://blockwindows.wordpress.com/)
  5. Right click in command line (cmd) and select paste
  6. Let script run and press ‘enter’ to reboot
