[KiND QUESTiON] Feedback in RS5 not removable? #222

Closed github-tomster closed 5 years ago

github-tomster commented 5 years ago

hello world

on RS5 ENTERPRiSE S (LTSC) Function DisableFeedback is applied but, on startmenu there is still the 'Give Feedback' button available... seems that this is something totally different, isnt it? how do i get rid of this and how can i prevent users sending screenshots to m$?

DisableFeedback stops the occasional Windows popup asking for an opinion on handling, look and feel and general usability of the OS and its applications. The corresponding controls are in Settings -> Privacy -> Diagnostics & feedback. It's just to make the system less obtrusive, but if the users want to send a feedback, they still can.

If you're referring to the Provide feedback feature of the start menu search on the screenshot below, then it can't be removed as it's part of the Cortana application. So to get rid of it, you'd also need to completely sacrifice start menu search and probably some other features.

Provide feedback

and how can i prevent users sending screenshots to m$

You can try blocking Cortana in firewall. There is already a rule called Cortana with all the application packages and services predefined, which is allowed by default. Alternatively, you can try finding out and blocking the hostnames which it tries to connect to. Disclaimer: These are just ideas how I would try to approach the problem. I haven't actually tested either of these and I'm not planning to.
