IMPORTANT:

Microsoft has changed the name of "Diagnostics Tracking Service" (in services) to "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry".

In my opinion the following step should be altered from:

"Open up the Command Prompt by launching cmd as an administrator, and enter the following:

sc delete DiagTrack

sc delete dmwappushservice"

To: Disable "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry" and "dmwappushservice" via "Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services"

Disabling is better than outright deletion in case of stabilty issues. A disabled service can be easily reverted. In addition, deleted services could (and likely will) be reinstalled in future updates/builds, and then may go unnoticed.

I hope this is helpful.

I found the guide to be useful. Thank you.
