Complete Win10 blocking host file.

Here’s a host file of every telemetry/spying aspect of Windows 10 we’ve found in the lab. It’s taken us over 3 months of logging to gather all of these. In addition Microsoft added a couple recently which are on here (and probably nobody else has found yet). Replace your hosts file with it or add these domains to your UTM/NGFW/Router on the edge.

Note: To the best of our testing these do not break core windows functionality either in the home or enterprise environment. These do not block windows updates nor do they impact the activation/license checks for windows. Those IP’s were specifically excluded. However I can’t guarantee 100% there won’t be ’something’ coming up. But we’ve tested this on 18 systems of various configurations/networks without issue. A couple deployed at Fortune 500 firms to test these blocks and they were fine. If we have missed anyone I’d be curious to know, but no sniffing has revealed any missed ones over the last couple of months except the new ones MS sneaked in on an update which we added.

Windows 10 rebootin esto

https://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=10174189&cid=53758187

First, we need to disable the mechanism that actually performs the automatic reboot after installing updates…
-Open Task Scheduler (Start, type ”Task” and it’ll appear in the results)
-Expand Task Scheduler Library>Microsoft>Windows>WindowsUpdate
-Delete the ”Reboot” task
The task that performs the reboot is now gone, but we’re not done yet.

Next, we need to prevent Windows from re-creating the automatic reboot task, which has reportedly happened spontaneously on some computers, most often during build upgrades…
-Hit WinKey+R and enter %systemroot%\System32\Tasks\Microsoft\Windows\UpdateOrchestrator to open that folder
-Delete the file named ”Reboot”
-Create a new FOLDER named ”Reboot”
Since a folder named Reboot now exists, Windows won’t be able to re-create the task file named Reboot.

So the things to verify in case anyone reads this someday are:
-Power Options (Location: Control Panel>Hardware & Sound>Power Options>Choose what Power button does): There ”Turn on fast startup” must be unchecked & Save changes.

-Network Card Properties (Location: Right Click on ”This PC”>Properties>Device Manager>Network Adapters):
a-Right click the network card and select properties.
b-Under Tab ”Advanced” verify ”Enable PME” & ”Wake on Magic Packet” are enabled.
c-Under Tab ”Power Management” verify the three options there are checked.
