Recent upgrades sometimes ignore user privacy setting, and continue to leak user data to Microsoft servers: vortex-win.data.microsoft.com settings-
win.data.microsoft.com
The following community instructions give a temporary solution for members who recently updated their OS. ----------------------------------------------
------------ IMPORTANT ONE IS GROUP POLICY (gpedit.msc):
Go to Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, System Internet Communication Management, Internet Communication Settings
ENABLE (to turn it on, it is a disabler)
"Turn off Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program"

TO REMOVE THE BOGUS OPTIONAL TELEMETRY HOTFIXES MANUALLY:
Open command prompt Type powershell issue these commands
I GOT "NOT INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER" ON THESE INITIALLY SINCE I HAD IE11 installed (PROBABLY ONES FOR IE9/10/11):
KB3075249 KB3080149 KB2505438 * KB2670838 (See IE 9/10/11 notes below) KB3044374 KB2990214 (Windows 10 Upgrade preparation) KB2505438 (Although it claims to fix performance issues, it often breaks fonts) KB2976978 (Windows 10 Upgrade preparation)
--- I GOT "NOT INSTALLED ON THIS COMPUTER" ON THESE (*PRIOR* TO PULLING KB2670838 which is IE 11):
* KB2670838 (This update often breaks AERO on Windows 7 and makes some fonts on websites fuzzy. A Windows 7 specific update only (do not install IE10 or 11 otherwise it will be bundled with them, IE9 is the max version you should install to avoid this).
THESE RE-APPEAR AFTER UNINSTALLING IE11 RIGHT ON RESTARTING & CHECKING WINDOWS UPDATE:
* KB2952664 (Windows 10 Upgrade preparation prior to IE9/10/11 install) * KB3021917 (Windows 10 Upgrade preparation prior to IE9/10/11 install) * KB3068708 (Windows 10 Upgrade preparation prior to IE9/10/11 install) * KB3092627 (Windows 10 Upgrade preparation prior to IE9/10/11 install)

Apparently not.
Of course the "real" way to deal with W10 spying is to feed it false data from a VM with convincing usage data. 100,000 people all regularly going to anti-M$ sites might get the message across.
