This service got installed on my machine by one of the Windows updates. Now, anything with the word "tracking" does not look attractive to me, so I have it disabled and nothing wrong is happening.
Could anyone tell me if there is anything useful - for me - that this service does and that I'm missing by having it disabled?
It was part of the MS upgrade to W10,(see posts in ten forum regarding privacy).
However MS has now decided to deploy it to W7 & W8 machines.
Its not malware, if your happy to agree to MS's new policies.

Hi,
Yep if you review this and some of the most recent posts you can see up to date lists to avoid

Actually M$ has been prepping win-7 for quite a while seems like close to 8 months :)
Bumping this thread because I wondered about this yesterday after finding it running among my Services, and when I do the research I realize that I NEVER INSTALLED KB3022345 ON THE MACHINES THAT ARE RUNNING IT!? So they must have bundled it with another update and after some long surfing it seems to be KB3080149 that re-asserted this.
I've Disabled it in Services, but I may yet uninstall KB3080149 or instead try
sc delete DiagTrack
