    This tool has additional stuff to block in addition to being able to block the Windows Telemetry IP Addresses:

    Would this be used as a supplement to or in replacement of O&O Shutup10?

    Supplement. First ust O&O ShutUp10, then when it prompts you to reboot after applying the tweaks, reboot then run O&O Shutup10 Again as one of the Telemetry Settings reverts itself back to enabled, hit Revert Changes then exit, it will prompt you to reboot for the 2nd time, then run this tool to polish up what O&O ShutUp10 missed.

    The uninstall Windows app portion of the app hosed up some of the other apps I was using, so I would recommend sticking with Revo for this purpose.

    I use WPD and blocked everything but windows updates, But now Action Center will not open.

    I am on Win10 x64 v1903

    EDIT: I only used the default disable items and left the extra enable and now Action Center works again.

    EDIT2: After a few reboots it looks like it`s something in the 7 extra services that`s blocking my Action Center.

    oh I didn't go overly aggressive on disabling services maybe that's why it's working for me

    Here's what I disabled:

    @Mr. Fox Just a warning bro, using this tool to disable telemetry IP addresses causes Windows activation issues. I noticed my Windows lost its activation suddenly and when I tried to re-activate it, it says it can't connect to the bla bla bla server. The moment I removed those firewall rules everything went back to normal.

    Well count your blessings then. I did tweak and disable most Windows tasks as well like customer improvement program related stuff, diagnostics data, etc. but when I got rid of the IP Address blocking Windows got activated right away.

    I have found it impossible to activate when WPD is enabled prior to activation. However, I have not have any problem from using WPD after I have already activated Windows. If you think about it, that kind of makes sense. Once you have activated Windows there is no more need for your PC to phone home. Whenever possible, I choose phone activation with internet access disabled.

    That's what I would've thought too but it wasn't the case. I lost my activation until I had that stuff disabled.

    Strange. There's always going to be something goofy happening with Windows 10. It's a goofy product, made by goofy people. Maybe it was something related to Micro$lop Store. I don't have that installed on LTSC.

    Weird if none have seen it and pushed out a bug report. I'm sure many don't want the Micro$lop Store on their computers,

    https://wpd.app/contact/

    Btw. With all my testing I have also had Micro$lop Store installed.

    There seems to be an issue with the rules and the updating thereof. It's showing a date of October 2019. I thought it might be something with my laptop as that's where I first noticed it, but my desktop is showing the same as well, which leads me to believe that there's an issue with the application.
