Telemetry Kill Script
2+
===============
3+
A tool for disabling Windows Telemetry (at least part of it) on Windows
4+
8, 8.1 and 10.
5+
6+
Version 1.0.0
7+
8+
Copyright (c) 2017 Davis Mosenkovs
9+
10+
## Introduction
11+
12+
There already are several instructions available for disabling Telemetry
13+
on Windows.
14+
However this is probably the first easy to use script for this purpose.
15+
16+
Use of this script should be simple enough for average users and this script
17+
can be easily verified by IT professionals (to understand how it works and
18+
ensure there is nothing malicious in it).
19+
20+
## Usage
21+
22+
The script can be downloaded (after reading and accepting `LICENSE`) from
23+
this GitHub repository (e.g. [Releases](https://github.com/DavisNT/Telemetry-Kill-Script/releases)
24+
section). After downloading (and extracting) file `Telemetry-Kill-Script.cmd` it
25+
must be run with Administrator rights (by right clicking on it and selecting
26+
_Run as Administrator_).
27+
28+
Most likely this script will have to be used again each time when Windows Update
29+
updates Telemetry related files and/or service.
