Yes but AFAIK, winget telemetry fits entirely under the optional category. No metrics of winget fits under the "required" category that you cannot disable.
In other words, you can completly disable the telemetry of winget, which the title of this article say you cannot.
- hendersoon 6y agoPlease substantiate your post with evidence. No? OK, then.

- naikrovek 6y agoA Microsoft employee mentions this in the issue comments on GitHub.

- naikrovek 6y agoYes, unless you turn it off or set telemetry collection to "basic". Or if you build the tool yourself.
