# DisableWinTracking
A tool that I created to use some of the known methods of disabling tracking in Windows 10.
## DOWNLOAD!!
[DOWNLOAD EXE HERE!!](https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/releases/)
## How to Use
You can either:
A. [Run the binary uploaded to the Release tab as an Administrator and select which options you'd like](https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/releases/)
B. Install Python and the dependencies listed below and run the script from an elevated (`admin`) command prompt and select which options you'd like
## Dependencies
This is only to run the script from source, [download the exe here](https://github.com/10se1ucgo/DisableWinTracking/releases/)
* [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/) (or 3 with 2to3.py or something)
* [wxPython](http://wxpython.org/download.php)
* [PyWin32](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/)
* Windows 10 (Duh)
## Methods Used
#### Telemetry
Set the `AllowTelemetry` string in `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollection` to `0`
#### DiagTrack Log
Clears and disables writing to the log located in `C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Diagnosis\ETLLogs\AutoLogger`
#### Services
You can delete or disable the 2 services below:
* `DiagTrack` Diagnostics Tracking Service
* `dmwappushsvc` WAP Push Message Routing Service
Action:
* Delete: Remove both services
* Disable: Set the `Start` registry key for both services to `4` (Disabled) Located at `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\`
#### HOSTS
Append known tracking domains to the `HOSTS` file located in `C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc`
## Delete Services vs Disable Services?
Selecting "Disable" will simply stop the services from being able to run.
Selecting the "Delete" choice will completely delete the tracking services.
