THANKS! I went through this thread: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/list-of-windows-7-telemetry-updates-to-avoid.379151/ and found a reference to your site posted by a user there. I basically grabbed all updates recommended from that thread and referred links and compiled my list. As mentioned, I have listed all the updates found on this thread and referenced and included a description based on what I found in either MS kb database and/or any negative references from other forums/websites that recommend removal from Win platform. My spreadsheet has a column labeled "remove?" to which a "1" is a "YES" and a "seems ok" is an "IGNORE"; the next column is the KB#; and finally, the third column is the description/notes I pulled from the web when i did a search on the KB# lookup via google. i have also questioned a few of the recommended window updates as I was weary of uninstalling just anything that may have been just grouped in for whatever reason... http://j.mp/x10-remove - here's a pdf of the spreadsheet 1 3050265 Update that adds telemetry points to consent.exe in Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: July 2015 ktech |

Why does this script suggest removing KB3139929? MS16-023: Security update for Internet Explorer: March 8, 2016 "This security update resolves several reported vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. The most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage in Internet Explorer.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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, |

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. |

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. https://gist.github.com/xvitaly/eafa75ed2cb79b3bd4e9

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.) |

Windows Update Client for Windows 7: June 2015
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:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate
DWORD: DisableOSUpgrade = 1
