Avoiding Telemetry and spying
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2016 1:30 pm
Hi,
I've been using Windows Update to update my PC, then using scripts to block and uninstall GWX, telemetry and the like. WIth the changes to Windows Update -- the bundling of updates, I'm thinking that Autopatcher may be a better way forward. I turned off Windows Update about a month ago in preparation and to avoid the first bundle.
What do I need to do to make sure I only get legit security updates and no telemetry stuff going forward?
Thanks much,
Mark
