Does anybody know how to stop the Windows Compatability Telemetry (CompatTelRunner.exe) from starting? It causes extremely high disk usage which results in large performance issues.

Do you honestly believe we have the time to plough through Windows diagnostics forum. Just deliver an operating system that works. I've wasted many years of my life diagnosing corrupt windows code. Why can't you guys get your act together. "Answer forums" is old school.
This is my computer. I paid for it. I expect to be able to control my own computer.
That's what makes this an emotional issue.
Really stupid.

BEWARE: this is not a real article but a commercial to trick you into downloading borderline-scammy software.
Are you saying that none of those four ways will disable the telemetry? And if they do disable it, just don't download any of the programs they offer. Very simple.
