46&2 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I would like to make sure that I have not inadvertently installed any Telemetry Updates to my windows7 machines. Is there a list out there somewhere on the internet that I could cross check with my update history? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this update improves the reliability of computers that uses certain Intel CPUs." Even though this update is not Windows 10 or Telemetry related, it is controlling your hardware and is outside the scope of what a OS should be doing. I have not added it to the commands, but it shouldn't be that hard to avoid. This update is causing boot-loops on Windows 10, and some have claimed that it is persisting to fresh installs of Windows 8.x and 7. More info can be found in the following links: Tom's Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/s/KB3064209+overclocking/ Intel Forums: https://communities.intel.com/thread/77391 A workaround if you have already installed this update is explained in post #138 -------------------------------------- Others: KB3081954: Update for Work Folders improvements in Windows 7 SP1 "This update adds telemetry data points to Work Folders for Asimov telemetry pipeline in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1). This update also supports users to continue using Work Folders after they upgrade from Windows 7 SP1 to Windows 10." -------------------------------------- Run cmd as Administrator and issue these commands: (Credits to Daz) Code: wusa /uninstall /kb:2952664 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:2977759 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:2990214 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3021917 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3022345 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3035583 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3050265 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3065987 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3068708 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3075249 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3075851 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3080149 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3083324 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3083710 /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3102810 /norestart Others: wusa /uninstall /kb:3081954 /norestart -------------------------------------- *This only applies if you have more than one instance if KB2952664. For example; if you update a "official" MS ISO with the latest simplix update pack, you will only have one version of KB2952664. Therefore the wusa command will work to remove KB2952664 in that scenario. Quote Originally Posted by Yen View Post The kb2952664 cannot be uninstalled with the commands you have posted.

straycat19 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Autopatcher has an option to only install the critical updates. Not sure how this will work since Windows 7 now uses cumulative patches and if there is an update to a security patch it will not be released in the security patch rollup but will be released in the quality rollup only. This is the most f*cked up system I have ever seen but typical of Microfuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46&2 Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I have found that there is a huge difference in "lists" and info Ive been reading. Ive read about it here, on wilders, MDL, and many other sites. I am going with this list: I had 1 of these installed. It was KB3172605. I uninstalled it and when I did my WU history vanished. lmao, if I go to "view update history" it is blank. I can however click on "installed updates" though which does show me my updates! Other than this I have had no problems uninstalling this "update". Thank you all who commented here and have helped me. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokeyjoe Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 *Easy Way* Double-click on Diagnostic Tracking Service. Under General, set Startup type to Disabled and click the Stop button, then OK. After you reboot, Diagnostic Tracking will haunt your PC no more until the next Diagnostic Tracking patch gets applied. *Only do this if you know what you’re doing!* If you want to kill Diagnostic Tracking, you can run these commands (each on one line) Open command prompt as administrator. sc config DiagTrack start= disabled sc stop DiagTrack reg delete HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener /f reg delete HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\Diagtrack-Listener /f reg delete HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\AutoLogger\SQMLogger /f reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Diagnostics\DiagTrack /f reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection /f takeown /f %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Diagnosis /A /r /d y icacls %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Diagnosis /grant:r *S-1-5-32-544:F /T /C del /f /q %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Diagnosis\*.rbs del /f /q /s %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\* del /f /q /s %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Diagnosis sc stop DiagTrack sc delete DiagTrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
