You cannot disable or control the phoning home. It’s pervasive. MS is obsessed with using telemetry to track everything you do, and they don’t believe users should have a choice.
- jodrellblank 7y agothey don’t believe users should have a choice. Microsoft adds more telemetry in PowerShell 3: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/new-telemetry-in-powershell-7-preview-3/ https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/new-telemetry-in-p... And there is an opt out. Guess they do believe users should have a choice.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoGuess again!
- jodrellblank 7y agoOK. the .NET Core SDK includes telemetry, here's the official documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/telemetry https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/telemetry Section three, "How to opt out". I guess the same way again.
- lawnchair_larry 7y agoYou’ve found a way to opt out of one particular thing that they collect. This is irrelevant to the broader issue. You can’t opt out of all of the hundreds of other things they collect across the other products. There is no way to opt out entirely for Windows.
