What do you (anybody) use to block windows telemetry data gathering? Does anybody recommended any software for this? What software does anybody use personally if any?
Not sure, current version is 1.6..O&O ShutUp 10. Have they updated Anti Beacon since the Creators Update?
Some arguments about not using tools to block Windows spy network here:

HI BigFeet,I would recommend anyone trying to block telemetry to educate themselves first.
I agree they all do it. What's disturbing is the length that microsoft is going to collect the data, and exactly what data they are collecting.HI BigFeet,
the problem there is what is real and what isn't?, how do people really know what MS have going on in the background?. They are all at it, Google, Amazon, eBay etc, everyone wants to know what our habits are so they can target advertising our way so they can all make money one way or another!.![]()
You're certainly right. Even though Linux is pretty rock solid, pretty much no matter what browser you use, search engine, etc., there's someone/something collecting data.I noticed that even under Linux your are not free from snooping when browsing the web, this I suppose is the price for using free software?.![]()
