Looking through the task scheduler>>Active Tasks, I have found at least four Telemetry spyware that should not have been there as I never knowingly downloaded it or gave permission. I even do not have automatic windows update, so it was either part of the OS in stealth mode, or forced in.
Remember back in 2015 when Microsoft had a scandal with their phony updates which was really spyware? These tasks seem to be the same.

How to remove
Control panel>>Adm Tools>>Task Sched>>look at Active List for the following 4 Telemetry apps:
1) Ait Agent 2) Consolidator 3) USB Ceip 4) Program Data updater.
Double click above>>properties (which is outside this box to the bottom right) and either:
A) Disable at Triggers tab>>edit>>uncheck enable, or
B) Delete at Triggers tab.
AT this point i have disabled all, but in doing that, I cannot find a way to delete them anymore as they only show up in the Task status, and not in the Active list where they can be edited. Any solution to this would be welcome.
