Are there any open-source tools that allow me to disable telemetry for Adobe, Windows, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, GitHub Desktop, Docker Desktop, VS Code, and other applications? How can I disable telemetry and enhance my overall Windows experience?

    Fair warning: even if you disable telemetry on Windows, it has a tendency and history of re-enabling itself after a major update. You shouldn’t expect it to be a one-and-done deal.

        Between the update happening and you running the script all of the re-enabled telemetry grabs all of your logs and uploads them.

        You wouldn’t even make it through login after the update reboot before this happens.

        You cannot remove this telemetry and also receive updates. This is by design.
