Disable Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service on Windows 10

 
With the effect of the November Update (Threshold 2), Microsoft has rolled out a new service replacing DiagTrack to sneak the data from your Windows 10 PC. This service is none other than Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service. In this article, we will reveal how to Disable Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service on Windows 10 so that you can safeguard the data again.

On Windows 10, a service recognized as Diagnostics Tracking Service which used to spy your individual data for Microsoft was regularly functioning in the background. After getting aware of this fact, many users customized and stopped the service to hold the protection of their data. However, after the November update, its name got altered to Connected User Experiences and Telemetry Service and it got activated automatically, spying users’ details to Microsoft. This behavior of Microsoft seems to be little sneaky though the procedure to disable it still remains the same as before. Let us begin the procedure –

  2. Interesting…but you left out the second step! In order to keep the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) from starting up again, the Task Scheduler entry for CEIP must be disabled.

    Task Scheduler Library/Microsoft/Windows/Customer Experience Improvement Program

    Change the Consolidator status to “disabled” to keep CEIP from returning.

    Make sure you check it after each Windows Update because the status might get changed.

    My complaint with the CEIP is that it is a resource hog!!! When I start my laptop, I would like to be able to use it. I don’t want to have to wait 10 minutes for the hard drive to get below 10% utilization. When Task Manager finally does open, Telemetry is eating all my disk time.

  3. Thank you for posting this in a easy step by step fashion.

  4. Hi!
    Every time I get on my computer, although I’ve stopped and disabled the Connected User Experiences and Telemetry service it’s still on and I keep having to stop and disable it again. What’s the deal? Why won’t it stay stopped and disabled? Oh, and this time when I got on my computer, it was running and the statues was changed from disabled to automatic. Something is way wrong with this and I’m getting a little concerned about it!!! What do I do about this issue? Help!!
