reposting the delete metro shit in pretty code format

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

sc delete DiagTrack

sc delete dmwappushservice

echo "" > C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl

 

in admin command prompt to stop some tracking services.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Open up the Group Policy Editor by launching gpedit.msc as an administrator. Go through Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds. Double click Telemetry, hit Disabled, then apply. NOTE: This only truly works in the Enterprise edition, but the final step provides a decent enough workaround for Pro users.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Open up the Registry Editor by launching regedit as an administrator. Go through HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection, select AllowTelemetry, change its value to 0, then apply.

 

only one that works is the host block on home and pro. the other two seems pointless.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

f automatic driver installation is your problem, simply go to

"Control Panel" > "Devices and Printers" > right click your PC's name / icon > "Device Installation Settings" > "No, let me choose what to do" > "Never install driver software from Windows Update"

 

how to stop windows from updating drivers for you like the botnet it is

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{679f85cb-0220-4080-b29b-5540cc05aab6}\ShellFolder]

 

 

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{679f85cb-0220-4080-b29b-5540cc05aab6}\ShellFolder]

 

remove quickview from file explorer

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Frequent Problems:

 

Try typing "get-appxpackage", that will list all installed packages. If it failed, try copy-pasting one at a time, and be sure to run as admin.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]

 

disable prefetch and superfetch

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Quoted from another anon:

 

cortana is really fucking hard to disable

 

personally what i did is take ownership of the folder using the following zip:

 

http://cdn5.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/TakeOwnership.zip

 

right click on cortana process, open file location, right click on the folder and take ownership

 

kill the process and IMMEDIATELY change the folder name (add a 1 at the end of the folder), otherwise it will restart and will not let you disable cortana

 

this kills the default search bar, but I believe if you use classic shell the search still works just fine in the start menu

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer]

 

To disable the action center

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

pro tip, don't install windows 10 with your ethernet cable plugged in and / or wifi on.

 

it prevents it from downloading and installing updates + drivers during installation.

 

install first, install drivers, set windows to not download and install drivers in device and printers pane by right clicking on your computer located in the devices and printers pane, and selecting device installation settings.

 

then connect to the internet

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

REMINDER THAT EVEN IF YOU REMOVE ALL THE BLOATS, WINDOWS WILL DOWNLOAD THEM ALL RIGHT BACK WHEN YOU UPDATE THE STORE APP.

 

REMINDER TO REMOVE STORE APP AND DISABLE THE STORE UPDATE ON WINDOWS UPDATE.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

disable cortana and her botness in gpedit.msc

 

no need for regedit tweaks

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

disable location completely in gpedit.msc

 

can also disable sensors if you have them, and even if you don't
