Beware of this though, if you really want to remove all the telemetry. Seems like telemetry is deeply ingrained in the OS. Last time I used Windows tried to enable every option in O&O ShutUp10, got a BSOD.

on top of that, Microsoft has thousands of different domains they use for telemetry, good luck trying to stay up to date with that...
