Could someone elaborate or direct me to information regarding the back-porting of telemetry to windows 7?
I permanently have this remove_crw.cmd to uninstall some windows 7 update on my desktop and I'm unclear whether it could be outdated.
- hedora 10y agoI looked into this, came to the conclusion that I was screwed, then switched back to Linux. There are some github projects and commercial programs from various anti-virus companies that try to turn off the backported telemetry, but Microsoft repeatedly thwarted such efforts over the last few years. You might be safe from Microsoft data slurps if you run Windows XP, but it doesn't get security updates any more. Therefore, you probably shouldn't give it network access. At that point, you may as well run air-gapped windows 10.
