You can't. They whitelisted IPs and Domains in kernel mode part of Win10. Good luck, and I hope you carry a hardware firewall with your notebook.

- hendersoon 10y agoWow, is that right? I do block searchui.exe at the network level, and that works. Unless you block it, Win10 talks to MS with every local filesystem search, even with Cortana and web search integration disabled. Only telemetry and windows update is whitelisted in the kernel?
- KirinDave 10y agoI couldn't find any corroborating evidence to back that claim up, for what it's worth. It's sort of true for the insider editions (but those are a semi-private beta program).
- hendersoon 10y agoI hadn't heard of that either. I think he was probably incorrect.
- KirinDave 10y agoNot only can you, but people have done it. There are several available methods using native and non-native tools. The only people who cannot do so are people on the insider ring builds. When you sign up for those builds, you accept the telemetry as part of the agreement (which is not unprecedented at all).
