Disable telemetry in Visual Studio 2019
Found this on Github, "Disable telemetry in Visual Studio 2019",
https://gist.github.com/zeffy/f0fe4b...6d0482bbf57c1a Last updated 7 days prior to this thread posting. verbatim as here. [EDIT: NOT verbatim, I changed "Enterprise" to "Community" in this line(appears twice):- VS_INSTALL_DIR=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community" ] Code:
@echo off fltmc >nul 2>&1 || ( echo This batch script requires administrator privileges. Right-click on echo the script and select "Run as administrator". goto :die ) rem Change this path if you are using Community or Professional editions set "VS_INSTALL_DIR=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community" if not defined ProgramFiles(x86) ( set "VS_INSTALL_DIR=%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community" ) set "VS_POLICIES_KEY=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio" set "VS_POLICIES_FEEDBACK_KEY=%VS_POLICIES_KEY%\Feedback" set "VS_POLICIES_SQM_KEY=%VS_POLICIES_KEY%\SQM" set "VS_TELEMETRY_KEY=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Telemetry" rem Disable feedback in Visual Studio reg add "%VS_POLICIES_FEEDBACK_KEY%" /v DisableFeedbackDialog /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add "%VS_POLICIES_FEEDBACK_KEY%" /v DisableEmailInput /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f reg add "%VS_POLICIES_FEEDBACK_KEY%" /v DisableScreenshotCapture /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f rem Disable PerfWatson reg add "%VS_POLICIES_SQM_KEY%" /v OptIn /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f rem Disable telemetry reg add "%VS_TELEMETRY_KEY%" /v TurnOffSwitch /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f rem Also considering adding these hostnames to your C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts rem - vortex.data.microsoft.com rem - dc.services.visualstudio.com rem - visualstudio-devdiv-c2s.msedge.net rem - az667904.vo.msecnd.net rem - az700632.vo.msecnd.net rem - sxpdata.microsoft.com rem - sxp.microsoft.com rem Delete telemetry directories rmdir /s /q "%AppData%\vstelemetry" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VSApplicationInsights" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\VSApplicationInsights" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\Microsoft\VSApplicationInsights" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSFaultInfo" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSFeedbackIntelliCodeLogs" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSFeedbackPerfWatsonData" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSFeedbackVSRTCLogs" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSRemoteControl" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSTelem" 2>nul rmdir /s /q "%Temp%\VSTelem.Out" 2>nul rem For a noticable improvement in responsiveness, I also recommend disabling any rem of the default extensions you don't actually use, for example I disabled: rem - VS Live Share rem - Dotnet Extensions for Test Explorer rem - Microsoft Studio Test Platform rem - Test Adapter for Google Tests rem - Test Adapter for Boost.Test :die echo. pause exit Added to end of hosts file as per above recommendation [total block of access to these below sites] c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Code:

EDIT: Added some more telemetry sites. any other recommendations ? I've used above for VS Community 2019.

Thanks for that, I have used that in the past [back when I used ZoneAlarm - think its a bit faster ie does 'nothing' quicker] but forgot about it.
I'll change to 0.0.0.0. EDIT: Done Note, Reboot may be necessary after hosts edit (not sure - EDIT: or command line:- IpConfig /flushdns). EDIT: More possible telemetry sites:- https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comm..._of_microsoft/ Code:

EDIT: That is one helluva hosts file, 423KB uncompressed (Mostly ad/tracker blocking, via Sparktank link). EDIT: There seems to be a distinct pause with the adblock 423KB hosts addition on my BayTrail Windows 10 32 bit tablet thingy, but I dont want to disable the DNS Client service [to speed up], as I may on rare occasion require it, so I'll try for a while at least with the huge hosts file. [Seems to speed up a bit after first few web pages]
