DisableWinTracking

GIF of GUI
A tool that I created to use some of the known methods of disabling tracking in Windows 10.

PRECOMPILED BUILDS

Precompiled builds ARE AVAILIBLE. Please stop saying that you need an installation of Python/PyWin32/wxPython

How to use

You can either
A. Run the binary uploaded to the Release tab as an Administrator and select which options you'd like

B. Install Python and the dependencies listed below and run the script from an elevated (admin) command prompt and select which options you'd like

Dependencies

  • wxPython
  • PyWin32
  • Windows 10 (Duh)

Methods Used

Telemetry

Set the "AllowTelemetry" string in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection" to 0

DiagTrack Log

Clears and disables writing to the log located in "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger"

Services

  • Delete: Remove both services
  • Disable: Set the "Start" registry key for both services to 4 (Disabled) Located at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services"

HOSTS

Append known tracking domains to the HOSTS file located in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc"

Delete Services vs Disable Services?

Selecting "Disable" will simply stop the services from being able to run. Selecting the "Delete" choice will completely delete the tracking services.
