Free time and Windows 10 telemetry

Depending on one's level of paranoia, and how much free time one has during lock down, a single privacy solution is incapable of covering all aspects of Windows 10 telemetry issues, for a comprehensive lock down of your Windows 10 box, you need to resort to several pieces of software which handle different aspects of Windows 10 telemetry.

Here is a list of up to date (as of date of posting) software I use to handle Windows 10 telemetry issues which you can google to locate:

- Blackbird v1.0.79.3
- O&O ShutUp10 1.8.1410
- WPD v1.3.1323
- WindowsSpyBlocker v4.29.0
- W10Privacy v3.4.0.1
- Debotnet v0.7.8
- SharpApp v0.34.1
- Spybot Anti-Beacon v3.0.3.0

If you wish to also tackle Windows update you can check the following:

- Sledgehammer v2.6.1 RC4
- WuMgr v1.1b
- StopWinUpdates v2.7
- StopUpdates10 v3.1.101
- Windows Update MiniTool v20.12.2016
- WAU (Windows Automatic Updates) Manager v2.5.0.0
- Windows Update Toggle v10.1

All the above are freeware, and to be used at one's own risk, and don't forget to back up before experimenting with above software.

Out of all the telemetry software, I like BlackBird.
To those who do not know what Telemetry in Software means:
In software, telemetry is used to gather data on the use and performance of applications and application components, e.g. how often certain features are used, measurements of start-up time and processing time, hardware, application crashes, and general usage statistics and/or user behavior.

Thanks to OP for the info.
