Windows just bait and switches everything so often. They don't understand the concept of backwards compatibility with users.

Daily reminder for all win10 threads

You can't ever completely disable windows 10 telemetry.
Microsoft is actively pushing towards making this ever harder to do as well - see the recent group policy change for example.
Even if you yourself are not concerned about the data collection, you still expose information about your friends and family via Microsoft's aggressive surveillance methods.
You should not use, support or endorse this operating system.

The spyware has been backported to Windows 7 and 8.1 as well.
You can much more easily remove it though - all it takes is uninstalling the related updates.
You can find out which via a quick google search for 'telemetry updates for windows 7 and 8.1', and then hiding them in Windows Update.
Don't forget to check for these every month or so, as Microsoft can push out new updates anytime that can reinstall the spyware.

Parallels for Mac.

Cortana handles search. The only build which doesn't have Cortana at all is LTSB, where searching is handled by a different, lighter executable called SearchUI.

>>55828886
Fuck yeah LTSB master race.

>>55828691
get enterprise + few GP tweaks and you should be good.

>>55828972
Show us your tweaks, I have plenty, maybe I missed some.

>>55828972
Microsoft wants spyware in their enterprise edition most of all

There's not a more lucrative group to spy on.

>>55829005
There's also no group that it would fuck them harder to spy on. There would be mass lawsuits if it was discovered that Microsoft were collecting sensitive information from Enterprise installs. Sink the entire company-grade lawsuits.

>>55829057
Yes completely right! Makes me glad to be on LT fucking motherfucking SB!

>>55828691
What about spying updates for Windows products specifically (as opposed to the OS itself)? Do they exist?

You can blacklist Windows executables from running altogether with registry entries, including searchui.exe and other Cortana-related executables.

Windows 7 does not have this problem.

>>55828444
Then turn off automatic updates.

You are using a stable OS, right?

Open up wireshark and look at what gets sent.

>>55828298
Enterprise not Education you idiot, nothing newer also then LTSB N 2015.

>>55828831
I think he was asking "how was that post relevant to this thread".

>>55828298
The Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.
