If you want to avoid the telemetry, make sure to set the appropriate environment variable (to anything) before running PowerShell for the first time!
On Linux, for example, you'll want to add something like this to your initialization / startup files:
export POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT=1
(Even then, I'm not sure that works for the "AppInsights" stuff!)
- ta8285738 7y agoHaving to opt-out of telemetry in your shell is revolting. I wasn't even aware it was there. They really need better up-front warnings (or opt-in) for their OS and shell etc. Another nail in the coffin, horrible dark pattern.
