I really wonder how much free time the author has to develop a whole project for simple 4 lines of batch code: schtasks /Change /TN "NvTmMon{B2FE1952-0186-46C3-BAEC-A80AA35AC5B8}" /Disable schtasks /Change /TN "NvTmRep{B2FE1952-0186-46C3-BAEC-A80AA35AC5B8}" /Disable schtasks /Change /TN "NvTmRepOnLogon_{B2FE1952-0186-46C3-BAEC-A80AA35AC5B8}" /Disable sc config NvTelemetryContainer start=disabled

Sure "update" possibility as well as background service (for what???) are good, but I have compiled the above mentioned code in 40 kb exe file nVTDisabler.zip And I am pretty sure it could be even smaller. It makes me laughing watching 548 kB portable archive (yes, the author thinks this task deserves an installer also, OMG).

Look.. Not everyone is as technically inclined as you. Good for you. 🥇

I for one understand that most user's don't have a clue about this stuff.

Thus, a nice tool that just works is much appreciated. Thank you! @NateShoffner

There are plenty of other tools that also have portable versions and installers. That you could / would same the same thing about. And again. I appreciate all their hard work as well.

If you don't have anything nice to say... Well, do I really need to say?

The new features (e.g. installer/updater) were things that had been requested by multiple people. Please use the issue tracker for constructive feedback/actual issues, thank you.
