Destroy Windows 10 Spying is a portable app that can block anonymous data being sent, remove apps and more. Video tutorial available.I liked that Destroy Windows 10 Spying can delete some of the Windows default programs that are not removable under Apps & Features, an annoyance I immediately discovered since I prefer to “slim” down Windows.However, some actions are irreversible, so you should know what, and how, you can restore should a particular problem appear. Here's how.Some of the domains we know send anonymous information back to Microsoft include:vortex.data.microsoft.comvortex-win.data.microsoft.comtelecommand.telemetry.microsoft.comtelecommand.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.netoca.telemetry.microsoft.comoca.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.netsqm.telemetry.microsoft.comsqm.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.netwatson.telemetry.microsoft.comwatson.telemetry.microsoft.com.nsatc.netredir.metaservices.microsoft.comchoice.microsoft.comchoice.microsoft.com.nsatc.netdf.telemetry.microsoft.comreports.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.comwes.df.telemetry.microsoft.comservices.wes.df.telemetry.microsoft.comsqm.df.telemetry.microsoft.comtelemetry.microsoft.comwatson.ppe.telemetry.microsoft.comtelemetry.appex.bing.nettelemetry.urs.microsoft.comtelemetry.appex.bing.net:443settings-sandbox.data.microsoft.comvortex-sandbox.data.microsoft.comsurvey.watson.microsoft.comwatson.live.comwatson.microsoft.comstatsfe2.ws.microsoft.comcorpext.msitadfs.glbdns2.microsoft.comcompatexchange.cloudapp.netcs1.wpc.v0cdn.neta-0001.a-msedge.netstatsfe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.netsls.update.microsoft.com.akadns.netfe2.update.microsoft.com.akadns.netdiagnostics.support.microsoft.comcorp.sts.microsoft.comstatsfe1.ws.microsoft.compre.footprintpredict.comi1.services.social.microsoft.comi1.services.social.microsoft.com.nsatc.netfeedback.windows.comfeedback.microsoft-hohm.comfeedback.search.microsoft.comrad.msn.compreview.msn.comad.doubleclick.netads.msn.comads1.msads.netads1.msn.coma.ads1.msn.coma.ads2.msn.comadnexus.netadnxs.comaz361816.vo.msecnd.netaz512334.vo.msecnd.netYou can block these yourself manually in your hosts file with 127.0.0.1 if you want. The program allows you to empty or view the hosts file in Notepad.The program does the same thing but just in case you wanted to see where your information heads to, or you wanted to update your hosts file manually. When finished, a log file gets created in the original folder. I took a huge chance and ran this on my clean Windows 10 installation. It did modify the hosts file exactly as promised and did remove the Apps it promised. IObit Uninstaller also spotted Destroy Windows 10 Spying running and removed leftover entries from the uninstall.Download
