Windows 10 has been widely criticized for its built-in data snooping features. And if that is not bad enough, Microsoft rolled out some updates in Windows 7 and 8.1 that also track user behaviour. The solution is Ageis, a tool designed to block Microsoft’s snooping features. Aegis is a Windows script that, once run on Windows 8 and 7, will tamper with the system settings and registry in order to disable tracking features, deactivate certain functions and, most importantly, block Windows 10 update requests. No user interaction is required, but you must run it with administrative privileges for all the changes to take effect. Aegis alters the system configuration, so it is recommended you create a restore point and a data backup before using it, just in case something goes wrong. Aegis works by disabling GWX, SkyDrive, Spynet, WiFi Sense, and other telemetry features, as well as the Windows 10 download directory.
