Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1
Purpose : View and control common Windows 11 telemetry / diagnostic-data
settings, services and scheduled tasks.
Scope : Shows what is currently ENABLED (data collecting) vs DISABLED,
and lets the user turn individual items - or everything - on/off.
Areas : Core diagnostic data (AllowTelemetry), diagnostic log limits,
Windows Error Reporting (full stack: flags, consent, service,
task - the modern successor to Dr. Watson), CEIP/SQM, AppCompat
appraiser, Cloud Content / Tailored Experiences, Activity
History, Advertising ID, Feedback (SIUF), inking/typing and
speech data, search suggestions, DiagTrack + related services,
telemetry scheduled tasks, Cortana/cloud search, cloud clipboard
and settings sync, suggestions/ads (Content Delivery Manager),
location, Find My Device, Copilot/Recall, Delivery Optimization,
and Windows SmartScreen ([SEC]: apps-and-files check, Store app
URL check, Enhanced Phishing Protection - excluded from bulk
disable unless requested).
Notes : - Windows PowerShell 5.1 compatible. ASCII-only source.
- Registry (HKLM) and service changes require Administrator.
- "Enabled" = the telemetry / data-collection behaviour is ON.
"Disabled" = the telemetry / data-collection behaviour is OFF.
- For policy-type values, "Enable" REMOVES the policy value to
restore the true Windows default (absent), so the Settings UI
is not left in a "managed by your organization" state.
User mode:
-UserMode restricts the tool to per-user (HKCU) items only - the ones
that need NO administrator rights. Run it as your normal (unelevated)
account for personal privacy hardening: it writes only YOUR user hive,
so it also avoids the "HKCU points at the admin's profile when you
elevate as a different user" pitfall. HKLM policy/service/task items
are hidden in this mode.
Usage :
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 # interactive menu (all items)
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -UserMode # per-user items only, no admin
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -UserMode -DisableAll # harden your user profile
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -Report # print status and exit
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -DisableAll # turn telemetry OFF (keeps [SEC]/[NET] ON)
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -DisableAll -IncludeSecurity # also disable SmartScreen
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -GoDark # MAX: disable everything incl [SEC]+[NET]
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -EnableAll # restore Windows default ON
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -Csv .\out.csv # export status and exit
.\Manage-WindowsTelemetry.ps1 -Report -Csv .\status.csv
DISCLAIMER: Review before use. Changing telemetry / service settings alters
system behaviour. Run in a test environment first. No warranty.
