[Windows 7/8] Windows Updates To Avoid! "Telemetry"

[Omnipotent]

Ahh, okay that makes sense. Avira is cool like that.

Well that’s certainly not good. It’s very important to get the updates they release, ASAP. They usually fix vulnerabilities and weaknesses that hackers can exploit to gain control/information over your computer.

Are you still able to check for them? If your windows update doesn’t even connect to their servers you may be infected with a virus/malware.

I’m not worried about updating. If it’s truly not good, I would have lost all of my personal information long ago. Windows updates for me personally did more harm than help. If it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it.

Should i update my Windows 7 64bit? i didn’t update it since i install Windows😂

[JohannesDau]

1. Yes.
2. When did you install it? Maybe it’s not too bad yet.
3. How exactly is this related to Telemetry? Are you asking for an updated list or something?

The way you wrote the commands will not work. You need to wait the wusa executable to finish before starting the next one. I fixed the commands:

START /WAIT wusa /uninstall /kb:2505438 /quiet /norestart

I have recently upgraded my windows 7 from 32 bit to 64 bit version and I was looking for a list of updates to avoid. This is exactly what I hoped to find and more, the automated way of removing them. Thank you all.

Also, I do hope someone is keeping an eye on the new updates too, and will add them to the script … right?

[nitrus_svk]

Here is list of telemetry updates, think it’s updated aswell.

According to Microsoft’s vague review of the update, it contains ‘some improvements to Windows Update Client in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1’. Also, the update replaces a previously released update – KB3083324, which has the same description. Not surprisingly, KB3083324 replaces the August 2015 Windows Update Client update KB3075851… which replaces KB3065987 from July. All of the updates contain ‘some improvements to Windows Update Client in Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1’.

Next on the list is KB3050265 which was incompatible with Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) servers without the hardening update KB2938066. KB3050265 replaced the KB2990214. The KB2990214 update ‘enables you to upgrade your computer from Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) to a later version of Windows‘. Voila!
