Jaspert0079 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hello, I'm running build 10047 W10 and I noticed this service is letting my harddrive run overtime; Service: microsoft compatibility telemetry I know this service is to collect all kind of data so MS can improve W10 but is their any way to shut it down /prevent starting itself?

MosheHaven Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Since posting that last June, have you learned anything to remediate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noir Angel Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Open an elevated command prompt, and enter the 2 following commands one after one another (This will remove tracking services completely). If for whatever reason you need to get the services back, you can do so by running sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt sc delete DiagTrack sc delete dmwappushservice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noir Angel Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Oops, forgot that little detail. But as the telemetry can't actually be turned off, it's the only useful option open to you. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
