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.

    I've seen this wrong answer lots of places.   Typing gpedit.msc gives the error "Windows cannot find 'gpedit.msc'" and so fails

    It works fine for me, what version of windows are you using? Maybe you have to install it if you're using windows 10 home:

    I have never had gpedit.msc on my machine under Windows 10.  I don't like the idea of downloading software from third party vendors due to the danger of introducing a virus onto my machine.

    That's a pretty healthy attitude, but I think this is just a script that enables the windows 10 gpedit.msc. Seem legit (but disclaimer: I didn't investigate deeply).
