I did, you just updated it too late and replied too early.

Just saw it and yeah I notice windows readds/restarts some stuff when I try shutting it down or disabling it....it can be annoying.

ariaspi: Yeah, I hate those default settings and features myself, and many more that I can't remember until I come across them.
Unfortunately, I come across them all the time now as I am working as a sysadmin, also with Windows machines. So I quite often need to visit clients' (virtual or real) machines remotely and then I am like "shit, I can't see the file extensions..." etc. And I can't really change the settings either, without asking permission from the clients (well, ok, those settings that are per user, I guess I can... but I just don't feel like doing it for each and every machine I connect to).

So I just have to live with those idiotic settings. Oh well.

I gave in and installed Win10 a while ago, I really wanted the Age of Empires remaster.

tinyE: I love it, however I am using a program called "Umbrella" which gives it a Windows 7 wrapper, purely aesthetic.
How is it different from Classic Shell?

Windows 7’s July 2019 Security Patch Includes Telemetry
[Chris Hoffman 11 July, 2019]

To the surprise of Windows watchers, the latest Windows 7 “security-only” update includes telemetry. The telemetry in question is Microsoft’s “Compatibility Appraiser,” which checks PCs for problems that could prevent upgrading to Windows 10.
What was surprising about this month’s Security-only update, formally titled the “July 9, 2019—KB4507456 (Security-only update),” is that it bundled the Compatibility Appraiser, KB2952664, which is designed to identify issues that could prevent a Windows 7 PC from updating to Windows 10.
Ed Bott (ZDNet)

After installation, you can stop the telemetry from running, if you like. As abbodi86 advises on the Ask Woody forums:

Disabling (or deleting) these scheduled tasks after installation (before reboot) should be enough to turn off the appraiser
\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\ProgramDataUpdater
\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser
\Microsoft\Windows\Application Experience\AitAgent
If you don’t want this code running. head to the Task Scheduler and disable these scheduled tasks. If you disable them before a reboot after running the update, they won’t even run once.

[I have checked and it is so. I have also confirmed the fix as outlined by abbodi86.]
