#For Enterprise - open cmd.exe with admin run the code(credit goes to murphy78)
Tested on Enterprise

Code:

REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection\ /v AllowTelemetry /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

Use this Also for Other Editions

Run cmd as admin
then start the process

use Sc.exe to delete the 3 services 
run this:

Code:

sc delete dmwappushsvc
sc delete diagnosticshub.standardcollector.service
sc delete diagtrack

#Deny Access to Diagnosis Folder
deny system accessing the file AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl with cacls

Code:

icacls "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis" /remove:g system /inheritance:r /deny system:(OI)(CI)f

#Blocking Cortana v1.1
Change Search in Firewall advanced to block
or run this in cmd with admin

Code:

Powershell Set-NetFirewallRule -DisplayName search -Action Block
#Disabling "Windows Connect Now - Config Registrar"
Powershell Set-service wcncsvc -StartupType disabled

::todo
#Blocking with Firewall
#OneDrive 
#Removing MetroApps

Extreme / TESTERS ONLY / ADVANCED USERS
* This Method should break Internet connective for the OS internal parts
* Firefox and standalone application can connect outside
* if application use Internal connective OS's components it should break 
* might block backdoors planted in OS

Step1
Run autoruns.exe
Uncheck hide windows entries
Search for v6
then uncheck them if u cant uncheck remove them

Code:

 to restore default settings run
netsh winsock reset

Steps2
MMC -> add snaps-in "cert" -> Computer account, set the cert like in the picture below 
http://i59.tinypic.com/24gul9t.jpg

Step3

Code:

#Sisable all the services that doesn't need the OS to boot, u might encounter some problems, ask i might remember 
#Run as trusedinstaller
Get-Service -Exclude DeviceInstall,Netman,NetSetupSvc,VaultSvc,vds,Appinfo,StateRepository,SysMain,seclogon,EventLog,KeyIso,trustedinstaller,Eaphost,dot3svc,BFE,BrokerInfrastructure,CoreMessagingRegistrar,DcomLaunch,Dhcp,LSM,PlugPlay,AudioEndpointBuilder,Audiosrv,ProfSvc,RpcEptMapper,RpcSs,sppsvc,CryptSvc,DeviceInstall,EventSystem,msiserver,nsi,Power,Spooler,swprv,UserManager | Set-Service -StartupType Disabled

#PLS BECAREFULL WITH THIS ONE ITS HARD TO SET IT BACK, ONLY VIA REGEDIT ITS POSSBIEL
Windows connection manager and wlan auto config needed for WIFI
#BUG - nvidia driver wont install - fixed
#bug - taskbar loaded after a min - pnidui.dll - network dll does this problem need to be removed

Semi-Extreme - Lossing ipv6 protocol
Explaining - Windows 10 might use those protocols to tunneling the data out to internet.
the whole idea of this Method eventually to disable totally network protocols that integrate to OS
which make IE / OS unable to go out 

#Disabling IPv6 

Code:

Powershell Set-service Tcpip6 -StartupType disabled
Powershell Set-service wanarpv6 -StartupType disabled
Powershell Set-service iphlpsvc -StartupType disabled

Blackbird v6 v1.0.85.3 [Works with Win 7/8/8/1/10]

Spoiler

Blackbird was designed to alleviate spending hours on tweaking your privacy settings by using some known and less-known techniques to fully disarm Windows without leaving behind even the smallest possible footprint.
There are other tools that claim to block Windows spying but they are cumbersome to use and not as powerful or are limited in scope. So the author took Windows apart, piece by piece, analyzed web traffic, system calls, file changes,etc., compared different configurations, designed and built a stand-alone tool and spent hundreds of hours on beta testing so anyone can use it and it gets the job done right. 
 
Block Windows spyware, on both the application and network level, with dynamic filtering and without editing the HOSTS file or firewall settings as well as preventing diagnostic, password, contact, URL, SMS, handwriting, location, and P2P-update sharing. 
Updated frequently and regularly, as long as Windows gets updates so will Blackbird.
Blackbird Features:
Disables OneDrive
Disables Cortana
Disables Bing-integration
Disables Wi-Fi Sense
Disables system-wide Telemetry on all Windows versions
Disables Xbox Live services
Disables web content evaluation / URL check-in ("SmartScreen")
Disables Windows Media Online DRM
Disables Windows P2P Update sharing
Disables all application metric collection agents
Disables all AutoLoggers
Disables start menu ads
Prevents all location/contacts/handwritting/password sharing
Prevents cross-device synchronization
Patches various data-leaks (IE/EDGE/Defender/Explorer/MRT)
Removes Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA)
Disables Diagnostic Tracking / "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" service
Disables WAP-push Message Routing service
Removes your unique Ad-ID tracking token
Removes Windows 10 upgrade setup files on Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

In my experience, the ShutUp tool works best, you might supplement it with Anti-Beacon afterwards, just for a second opinion, if you will. Other tools had the unfortunate side effect of cutting off the internet off all metro apps.
