A user on Voat going by the handle CheesusCrust has done an analysis of Windows 10 telemetry using DD-WRT doing remote logging to a Linux machine, and they have found that even with all of the telemetry options disabled, a clean Windows 10 Enterprise Edition install still appears to be sending substantial amounts of data back to Microsoft. In an eight-hour period, the experiment identified 3967 connection attempts to 51 distinct Microsoft IP addresses. A further update after 30 hours of letting it sit shows a total of 113 different external IPs are accessed. CheesusCrust also performed a further test using the popular anti-Windows 10 telemetry application DisableWinTracking, and found that while it is able to reduce the data being sent back to Microsoft, even the most stringent options cannot completely eliminate it.

The LAN share updates, or whatever it's called, I've had to slide that setting over to "no" at least 3 times. It keeps getting reset to "yes" after updates.
