> opt-out telemetry

Wasn't the problem with Microsoft telemetry that it is not so much opt-out as many users would wish?

Because opt out telemtery makes no sense. I am a power user- I use start menu jumplists in windows 7. I disable telemetry.

Microsoft: Umm- looks like nobody used jumplists in start menu. Lets remove in windows 8+

Everybody: Windows is getting worse for power users.

I myself use Arch as my default OS with dmenu and rofi to help me.

And it tends to thrash the disk for 10 or 15 mins on boot or at least it does on my win 10 home system.

Something thrashes your disk therefore it’s telemetry?

When I dug into it yes that was the process - I do know how to use taskmanger.
