    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.

    Re: Free time and Windows 10 telemetry

    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.
