THERE IS NO SPYWARE - you can disable 99% of it by not signing up for the Customer Experience program (or whatever this week's name for it is).
As far as I know I haven't signed up for any Customer Experience program but that might be a KB that slipped in without my knowledge.
Does this Customer Experience program by chance have a KB number?
Thanks Derek. I check and it's off.
Now I have to keep checking it to see if a sneaky Update turns in back on.
UserNameissues,
That is like changing a rule in the middle of the game. You don't do that. You buy a devices to use the operating system with the current eula, not with what the eula will be years later. Just my opinion.
I do have KB3083324 installed. No issues that I am aware of. I don't have a monitoring program to see if KB3083324 is contacting Microsoft for telemetry. Anybody know a good free monitoring programs for windows 7 to see if it contacts Microsoft when not using Microsoft services?
Peronally I removed KB3083324 and replaced with KB3075851. Note: My choice and not recommended for everyone.
RE: CEIP.
Note: Personal choices again.
Check Task Scheduler> Microsoft>
CEIP - disable everything listed
Application Experience - disable
AutoChk - disable
Well here's what I did:
Elevated Command Prompt > Powershell:
wusa /uninstall /kb:3083324
Uninstalled then disconnected from internet.
Rebooted.
Ran Advanced Disk Cleanup (including WU cleanup)
Rebooted.
Let windows check for updates using the rolled back version of WU Client.
Hid unwanted updates. Didn't install any others.
Rebooted.
Using IE - downloaded 3075851
https://catalog.update.microsoft.com...aspx?q=3075851
Forgot a step - see Editbelow
Installed it using this command:
"Full Path to installer" /wuforce
So in my case:
Reboot:Code:"C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB3075851)\AMD64-all-windows6.1-kb3075851-x64_5a748d6f403e548c985c81778c1c8e5967bf7c58.msu" /wuforce
Configure WU settings.
Reboot:
Check for updates.
Edit: Before installing 3075851 stopped BITS and WU Service.
