    According to the info on this link, this is a telemetry update, so I'm not going to be installing it.

    I've tried to re-post the link but the website isn't allowing it. However, the information is out there about it being a telemetry update for those who would rather not install telemetry.

    About telemetry, If I have some telemetry active (I saw some log files that say so), can I get rid of it doing some particular tweak to the system, or I have to look for the particular KB<number> and uninstall that?
    I was careful trying not to install anything telemetry related but probably I missed something.

    the telemetry part would be cancelled out if you have something like Winaero Tweaker installed on your computer

    Not sure why you think it's a telemetry update, as this is posted at the top of the Microsoft website:

    "Our old favorite snooping nemeses, KB 2952664 (for Win7) and KB 2976978." This quote was from computer world. There are other sources and references.

    Telemetry and GWX (Get Windows 10) are different things.

    In any case, anything MS says these days is suspect (especially regarding W7).

    MS has sacked so many people that there seems to be no one left who actually knows anything about Windows and/or the remaining people are so overworked that they can't do the work properly.
