    Block spying and tracking on Windows

  • Windows Update seems to want to use all my disk space on space limited VMs hosting various services, disabling it has become more difficult (Disabling the service doesn't work anymore) which has led to blocking all Windows IP's on router level for the VM address space. Haven't looked back since and I run updates every few months.

    Edit: If anyone want's a list of IPs here's one that I use and is maintained somewhat regularly : https://github.com/crazy-max/WindowsSpyBlocker/tree/master/d...
