Disabling Windows Compatability Telemetry

I am running Windows 10 Pro and have the same problem with Compatability Telemetry slowing my computer.  I do not have the registry folder {DD17FA14-CDA6-7191-9B61-37A28F7A10DA}.

I forgot to mention that after you make a Registry change, you have to reboot.

Yes, I know, I did the same thing when I first bought my own machine. But from reading various sites around the track it appears that Microsoft just ignores users wishes these days.

A few things you can do:

• Go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener.etl

If AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener is present, close File Explorer and hit Windows key + R to open the Run command. Type: Regedit and click OK to open the Registry editor and navigate to the following key:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\WMI\Autologger\AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener

Expand the tree to AutoLogger-Diagtrack-Listener and then click this subkey:

{DD17FA14-CDA6-7191-9B61-37A28F7A10DA}

In the right hand pane, you'll see a key called Enabled. Right click that and click Modify. Change the figure 1 into a 0 and click OK. It should look like you see it in the screenshot afterwards.

A setting of 0 (zero) for the Enabled key changes it to Disabled.

This won't stop Microsoft sending KB3035583 to Windows Update, but the GWX Control Panel tool I mentioned earlier will prevent Windows 10 from installing.

Note also however that Microsoft reinstalled the malware despite my control panel settings, which I just checked:

I did this:

You can disable the scheduled tasks that starts CompatTelTunner.exe by looking in the Task Scheduler.
