DO NOT SUBMIT NEW ISSUES OR PULL REQUESTS

THIS REPOSITORY IS HERE FOR ARCHIVAL PURPOSES ONLY. THIS SOFTWARE RECEIVED IT’S LAST RELEASE ON 01/2019 AND LAST COMMIT ON 12/2020.

As with any fork of a project, we cannot verify the integrity of their code, so report any issues with their fork to THAT repository, not this one.

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

CYRILLIC LANGUAGES WARNING

ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЕ ДЛЯ КИРИЛЛИЧЕСКИХ ЯЗЫКОВ

Slavic languages: Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Rusyn, Serbo-Croatian (for Standard Serbian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin), Ukrainian.

Славянские языки: белорусский, болгарский, македонский, русский, русинский, сербохорватский (для стандартного сербского, боснийского и черногорского), украинский.

This program cannot run correctly from a file path that contains Cyrillic characters. Make sure to run it from your root folder (usually C:/ ) so that you don’t get runtime errors.

Эта программа не может работать корректно, если в пути к файлу есть кириллические символы. Обязательно запустите его из корневой папки ( обычно C:/ ), чтобы вы не получали ошибок во время выполнения.

Note: Windows Defender may report the EXE as a trojan (Win32/Pocyx.C!cl), and may therefore prevent you from extracting the EXE to anywhere on your computer. Set up an exclusion in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Defender > Exclusions by adding the folder you intend to extract the EXE to.

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

Either can be run with the -silent argument as of v3.1. This will perform all available options of the version you’re using.

You still need to run it as administrator.

This is only to run the script from source, download the exe here

• Tested on Python 3.7.2 since DisableWinTracking 3.2.4 (commit 9f1d2aa)
• wxPython
• PyWin32
• Windows 10 (Duh)

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

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

You can delete or disable the 2 services below:

• DiagTrack (aka. Connected User Experiences and Telemetry) Diagnostics Tracking Service
• dmwappushsvc WAP Push Message Routing Service

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

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

Blocks known tracking IPs with the Windows Firewall. The rules are named TrackingIPX, replacing X with the IP numbers.

Disables the following:

• Automatic Sample Submission
• Delivery Optimization Download Mode

Disables the following:

Runs C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall (64 bit) or
C:\Windows\System32\OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall (32 bit)

Also disables registry entries that keep the OneDrive Icon pinned to your Windows Explorer list:

• Disable: Set the GameDVR_Enabled registry key for both services to 0 (Disabled) Located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\GameConfigStore
• Disable: Set the AllowGameDVR registry key for both services to 0 (Disabled) Located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\GameDVR

This action requires reboot computer for completely applying.

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.
