I feel it is CRUCIAL for an adblocker to consider blocking Windows Telemetry for privacy reasons.

Also, I can help with this development aspect if needed. We spent 3 weeks sniffing Windows 10 Traffic to develop what I feel is the most comprehensive list of domans/ips to block. We also tested it on nearly a dozen machines to ensure it doesn't break any important aspect of Windows 10. We have a SIEM watching traffic, and have added 3 new telemetry domains Microsoft added over the last few weeks to try and circumvent.

The issue with telemetry blocking is that it often messes with Windows own update features.

That's why we still have not implemented it.

I was reading sometime back trying to understand this realm of MS Windows spying on their OS user, they've always had some built in means to I guess but moved in to a new frontier with it now. Google discovered surveillance capitalism, Microsoft has been late to this game, but it has now waded in.

This may help either one of you and other members if you'd care to tackle all the information contained in it.
PS sorry I'm over a month late to the conversation... I do hope that Avatar might figure out in this (add here) to all of this in some tactics to use for Adguard's Stealth Mode or with an Adguard Hybrid Browser ideal that Adguard could move in to. Then at the least stimulate many ideals in areas I can't even conceive his knowledge may lay and ability to link things together. Itguy use any of this that's helpful to you also, which I'm in hopes there is something. To view some information you may have to join a certain site which will allow you to ask questions too.

http://www.getblackbird.net and to http://www.getblackbird.net/documentation/
Blackbird's update (v0.9.95- Latest) Jul26,2016 - This doesn't yet handle the Win 10 Anniversary/Redstone - has an Alpha build in the works because as they note:
Blackbirds Dev. has commented to these issues about Redstone-
""Unfortunately Cortana's been integrated deeper in the OS with Redstone. It's one of the things we wish to solve before releasing the new version.
Defender's a bitc_ to remove too but it can be completely disabled from collecting and sending info back to MS quite easily.
With Redstone they made a lot of changes, registry, services and system apps-wise, with even less documentation than before.""
Blackbird Does more than this topic here but, in tune and of interest to this topic, it does - Disables system-wide Windows/Office Telemetry on any Windows version, - Disables all Diagnostic-tracking / CEIP / Telemetry / Compatibility services, tasks and agents, - Disables all AutoLoggers, - Prevents device meta-data collection, - Blocks 150+ different tracking/telemetry/ad servers (supports IPv6/IPv4, Wifi/Eth, custom lists) and lots more to it's credit from Vista up and all levels of additions.

Blackbird exe is readable, just open Temp folder while script is running and the whole thing is literally a batch file that's extracted from the EXE.

There a fella named NoelC (-Noel) over at http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/174456-okay-lets-discuss-how-to-get-rid-of-these-processes/?page=1 and at http://win10epicfail.proboards.com/thread/100/interested-participating-tweaker-development-test

That has some pretty good documented findings in his own right in do along these same lines as Blackbird and more to Win 10 and has a script as well to keep his settings after MS updates revert any changes made to the OS.
