Open Pundle opened 5 years ago

Is the project abandonned ? v1.2x were removed from releases, yet still linked within main page (readme.md) ..
This was reported already, yet still no response nor update on the repo..
You might want to temporarily disable your repo if the project is on hold ?

Based on how long it's been since the author has worked on this project, it's probably abandoned. Even so, I don't really see a reason to do anything to the repository.

v1.1 (the currently listed version) does work, and I scrapped together a working version of v1.2 here.

Well, Nvidia changed their telemetry stuff in their new 430.x drivers which seems to result in DNT not working anymore:

It still seems to do something useful at least, for me. It finds my already (manually) disabled services and scheduled tasks, and even has a log line for "failed to find task" because I outright deleted it in my anger at nvidia.

I use Sleepydragn1's fork because it is 4 whole commits ahead of this repo. You can find it here: https://github.com/Sleepydragn1/Disable-Nvidia-Telemetry I wish github was easier to use. I had to click every single (there's 25) link on the forks page to make sure I'm using the most up-to-date and well maintained repo.

I use the scripts in privacy.sexy (called Disable NVIDIA telemetry). It's actively maintained so feel free to take a look & contribute there, I happily accept refugees 😊
