Disabling Windows Compatability Telemetry

This is the only one that causes me problems and I find it easy enough to disable when an update enables it again.  As this is a component of MS Office, my only other suggestion would be to uninstall MS Office and go open source with LibreOffice or GoogleDocs. 

No, Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry (CompatTelRunner.exe) is not a component of MS Office, it is of Windows itself. And no matter what you install, be it some Win update stuff or some other program install/update, the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry task is triggered again. And no matter what you disable in task scheduler, something sneaky is able to invoke damned thing again. This is purely OS-level stuff and so far there is no solutions, except to create task, which checks periodically whether CompatTelRunner.exe runs, an if if does, kills it immediately.

Also just thought of... you can beat them at their own game.  Create a scheduled task that upon logging in would disable the task with the following command line:

schtasks.exe /change /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\ProgramDataUpdater" /DISABLE

Disable the task that starts the process:

1. Open Task Scheduler
2. Expand through Task Scheduler Library -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Application Experience
3. Select the -> ProgramDataUpdater Task
4. Verify on the Actions Tab that this starts the compattelrunner.exe
5. Disable the task and restart

Hi

Disabling Microsoft -> Windows -> Application Experience won't help. I have all them disabled, plus Connected User Experiences and Telemetry service. And after each program update or install the damned Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry process starts scanning my HDD again, literally freezing my PC. Manually ending the process seems to be the only remedy unfortunately.

Disable the task that starts the process:

1. Open Task Scheduler
