Microsoft does not _permit_ Home and Pro Windows users to opt-out of their telemetry. There is no supported way to do it, you need to either manually hack through the registry and task scheduler or use a third-party tool like Shutup10 to turn it off.
- WorldMaker 7y agoPro has the same opt-out support as Enterprise today. Things that needed hacks to opt-out of have been fixed in the last few years with Windows 10 and have opt-out settings. (Each release has only tried to get better at telemetry options, because Microsoft actually is listening to the feedback and does seem to care about privacy.) The telemetry that Home is not allowed to opt-out of are the same bits of telemetry that Windows did not allow opting out of nearly at all in versions of Windows 10 prior to 10. (Especially, Windows Error Reporting has been opt-in by default in Windows since XP.)
