Windows 10 come with lot of telemetry which can't be fully disabled on non education or enterprise editions, there are many tools/scripts which try to disable as much as possible the telemetry on windows (some scripts contain data for other tools, such as visual studio or MS office) https://www.ghacks.net/2015/08/14/comparison-of-windows-10-privacy-tools/ https://github.com/mirinsoft/debotnet https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking https://github.com/hahndorf/Set-Privacy https://github.com/MichiMunich/Windows10-Privacy https://gist.github.com/alirobe/7f3b34ad89a159e6daa1 https://github.com/undergroundwires/privacy.sexy/blob/master/src/application/application.yaml https://gist.github.com/alex-anenkov/8d6c9bfef9b0142ced8dabfbb5d5db61

I plan to mention Windows telemetry, but it's hard to keep track of all unofficial ways to disable it. It's an uphill battle and anything beyond using Registry Editor to set the diagnostic data level will be probably obsoleted quickly. So, no promises.
