Microsoft Adding User-Tracking Tools To Windows 7 And 8

Microsoft has been criticized by privacy advocates in regards to the data hunger of its Windows 10 operating system. The operating system slurps data like there is no tomorrow, especially when systems are set up using the express settings.

Experienced users may disable telemetry and data collection partially during setup, and then some more afterwards using the Registry or Group Policy.
  • Update KB3068708 which replaces KB3022345 adds the Diagnostic and Telemetry tracking service. (The service "collects diagnostics about functional issues on Windows systems that participate in the Customer Experience Improvement Program".)
  • Update KB3075249 "adds telemetry points to the User Account Control (UAC) feature to collect information on elevations that come from low integrity levels. "
  • Build KB3080149 "updates the Diagnostics and Telemetry tracking service to existing devices".


Microsoft Lists two host names in KB3068708 that data is received from and sent to:

  • vortex-win.data.microsoft.com
  • settings-win.data.microsoft.com


How to Remove:

You may remove those updates using the Control Panel, or by running the following commands using an elevated command prompt:

    wusa /uninstall /kb:3068708 /quiet /norestart
    wusa /uninstall /kb:3022345 /quiet /norestart
    wusa /uninstall /kb:3075249 /quiet /norestart
    wusa /uninstall /kb:3080149 /quiet /norestart
