Re: Windows 10 is a no brainer update
"I don't trust disabling any settings until someone reports back with wireshark logs that with the settings off..."
Even then, how can you be sure they won't silently be "accidentally" re-activated by some update or service pack at some arbitrary point(s) in the future? Are we all to keep visiting everyone's machines to check the myriad hiding places for all these settings... or set up startup jobs to re-write the registry settings every boot and hope no new "pwn me" settings get slipped in?
It's untenable insanity.
