Now that Aegis isn't updated anymore what's the best way to uninstall and hide telemetry and Win 10 update stuff from Windows 7/8.1?
IIRC the only missing update was the one for Windows 8 that took up your entire screen
Don't install any updates.

Didn't it die 1-2 years ago?
Spybot anti-beacon, disable updates.

Two months ago.
I'm running a Win7 machine that last updated in June 2015.
Feels kinda scary and I wanna update, but then I don't want any of the telemetry and extra shit. What do?

Block at router level.

>cmd
>tracert www.microsoft.com
>locate what ip is tracking you or website
>use Windows firewall to block ips associated with tracking
>use the hosts file to add an URL to block DNS tracking leakage. Official sites collect metadata so you might have to locate the file and actually block the metadata file using Windows firewall. Sometimes they may try to enforce the tracking making you vulnerable to stop it. You need an enforcer to force stop the tracking.

Using hosts doesn't work because some of the telemetry is hard coded.

Does everything work on your machine? If so, then no need to upgrade.

Everything working perfectly is the reason I don't want to update. I'm just afraid of getting caught in a botnet or something because of some old-ass exploit.
