Will it be possible to disable all telemetry?
- wkat4242 3y agoNope, the EU doesn't seem to have any issue with that unfortunately. In fact they are trying to get a backdoor into our chats themselves.
- manuelmoreale 3y agoThere’s always the option to run a PiHole or even NextDNS and block telemetry at a network level. I know it’s not the same thing but still better than nothing.

- yourusername 3y agoI've read Windows will ignore the hosts file for Microsoft's own urls. You will need to block them at network level.
- FirmwareBurner 3y agoI think that was in some Windows 10 versions where they flagged hosts files with those changes as malware threats, but I tested them on my W11 setup and all of those are unreachable from Windows. Unless of course W11 kernel now silently ignores those host file modifications but pretends they work by only enforcing them when the user space apps tries to access them.
