Before Shutup10, you had to go in and manually turn off all those services. The problem was most novice user's didn't know what was safe to mess with. So for many years you could go to a web page called BlackViper, and that guy had all the Windows versions covered and how to safely do it.
Yeah, that guy had some rather iffy advice in some cases. I know people who disabled services that turned out to be necessary due to installed software, or worse, they'd try to make something work that they never used before, and it relied on a service that they didn't realize they had disabled months before.
Yea Drsteve, I'm sure a lot folks got themselves in trouble. I tried to stick to the safe settings, and I didn't have any trouble. No doubt some got too aggressive. I wish I knew exactly what every setting does, what it reports and why. That must be on the net somewhere. I did read that one of the telemetry setting should not be messed with.
