A registry is where the basic settings of programs are stored. Thus, whenever a program is deleted, it leaves empty keys which can affect the performance of your system. Therefore maintaining a clean registry is essential. One effective way of doing this, is to clear the empty keys.

How to disable Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry on Windows 10

If you're reading this post it most likely means that you experienced some serious performance issues on your Windows 10 machine (Hard-Disk, CPU and/or RAM) and, opening the Task Manager to see what was causing this, you found the culprit being the Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry service.

Introduction

If you don't know that already, let's spend 30 seconds to explain what it is: Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry is a service in Windows 10 which gathers technical data in real-time regarding how your Windows devices and their drivers are working: these data are periodically sent to Microsoft to give them the chance to enhance the user experience by improving them and/or fixing the potential issues that occur. That's great, isn't it? Except that these "telemetry" actions might have a considerable performance hit on your system, expecially if your PC is already low on resources - which is a common scenario for gamers, hardcore web surfers (20+ browser tabs at the same time), Netflix / Amazon Prime Video binge-watchers, and so on. If you are one of them, there's a high chance that you would want to stop that service from fetching & sendind your device data: in this article we'll briefly explain how you can do that.

Method #1: Group Policy Editor

The Group Policy Editor (also known as GPEdit) is a Windows administration tool that allows users to configure many important settings on their computers or networks: it can be used to configure password requirements, startup programs, define what applications or settings other users can change on their own, and so on. Needless to say, you can seriously cripple your system if you don't use it properly: that's why it's mostly used by experienced users and administrators. However, it can still be used without risks by (almost) anyone as long as they pay attention to only perform the required actions, avoiding touching anything else. Access the Group Policy Editor by pressing WINDOWS + R, then typing gpedit.msc in the box and clicking OK to confirm. If the User Account Control warning windows shows up, press OK to allow the execution of the file. Navigate through the left folder tree up to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds. Locate the Allow Telemetry option and double-click it to open the configuration window. Select Disabled, then click OK. Done!

Method #2: Registry Editor

As you most likely already know, the Windows Registry is one of the key components of the Windows operating system. It's basically a hierarchical database containing most windows settings, application settings, device driver info and even product keys and passwords. When an application is installed, some part of the software is likely stored in the Windows Registry file, which can be accessed at any time using the RegEdit tool. Again, this is mostly a task for experienced users and administrators, but it can also be used by non-experts for some simple tasks such as... disabling the Windows Telemetry Service. To access the Windows Registry, press WINDOWS + R,then type regedit in the box and click OK to confirm. If the User Account Control warning windows shows up, press OK to allow the execution of the file. Navigate through the registry tree up to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Policies > Microsoft > Windows > DataCollection Right-click on DataCollection, then choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Give to the new value the following name: Allow Telemetry Double-click to the newly-added Allow Telemetry value to open the configuration window. Set Value date to 0 (zero) and click OK to confirm. Done!

Conclusion

That's it: we sincerely hope that this small tutorial will help you to overcome any performance issues you might have with the Windows Telemetry Service.

SCCM AppModel Detection Method by Registry

Something we came across this week is how the Detection Method by Registry in SCCM 2012 really works.

I’ll start by saying that I’m a big fan with this whole new Detection Method feature. I made a lot of scripting in the past to come around this functionality, and I was very excited when I first heard that SCCM 2012 was going to come with this option built right in. Of course, AppV and MSI packages, being treated natively by SCCM, make it even easier when it comes to detect the presence of these package formats on a given computer. But when there’s the need to use a « script-like » package (aka: other than MSI or AppV), you absolutely have to enter a way to detect the presence of such package.

I have to say that my current customer is very stubborn to use AppV or MSI every way possible – which is absolutely fine by me! When you’ve made packages in a « pre-MSI era » like in my case, MSIs and AppVs are such a charm! But we came across a problematic MSI package (graciously provided by McAfee) where we needed to update the Endpoint Encryption Agent but have been provided with a newer version that contains the exact same ProductCode GUID as the current version has, which is a no-no in Windows Installer best practices. We first had the idea to rename the ProductCode by generating a different GUID right in the MSI provided by manufacturer , but this is also not recommended particularly when a customer risks having his support voided by the vendor. The manufacturer has no intention to correct this mistake as they claim it is their way to have his clients avoid deploying two (2) different versions of their agent (it’s crazy how so many people have no idea how the UpgradeCode property works).

Anyway, we had to treat this MSI with SCCM2012 as if it were a « script » package format and had to come up with a Detection Method which we found a registry entry for. This is where we stumbled! Something we thought would be fixed in seconds got us to dig a little deeper. In fact, even books and Internet references had very little to say about this.

To summarize our findings, let just say that the way Microsoft uses the registry terminology in SCCM2012 is not quite accurate.

Let’s take the following fictitious as an example:

They way Microsoft refers to each of these registry components: • HKLM\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.\VMWare Tools = the Registry Key • InstallPath = The Registry Name • REG_SZ = the Registry Type (or Registry Data Type) • C:\Program Files\VMWare\VMware Tools\ = the Registry Data or Registry Value

So, now looking at the Detection Rule by Registry Clause and trying to fit our chosen Registry entry for our problematic MSI:

Our first reflex is to think that the “Value” field located in the middle of the Clause window really means the “Registry Value” (or “Registry Data” depending on how you call it), which forces us to think that the Registry Name should be appended to the complete Registry Key.

The result was really not what was expected: SCCM kept reinstalling the updated version Endpoint Encryption Agent again and again, never finding the given registry key.

Reflecting on how this Detection Method by Registry really works, we’ve re-disposed the different registry information as such:

• « Key » = The actual Registry Key as it should be referred to • « Value » (the one in the middle of the Clause Windows) = The Registry Name • « Data Type » = the actual Registry Data Type • Then : choose your « Operator » (we used the « Equals » for our specific need here) • And finally the last « Value » field at the bottom = the actual Registry Value

And that works just fine!
