This command should be executed in an elevated command prompt. The command above adds and activates a new rule which blocks outgoing connections to the server "telemetry_". Let's see the following example: netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="telemetry_" dir=out action=block remoteip=65.55.252.43,65.52.108.29 enable=yes You will see and control what you are doing. This does not involve any third party tool in the process, which is also good. The main idea behind this method is to block the well known list of Microsoft servers using the appropriate rules of Windows Firewall.
