Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility
When I start Xbox on my laptop the whole thing slows to a crawl. Task Manager reveals it is largely due to Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility hogging most of the CPU. This goes on for several minutes and recurs often. I don’t especially mind Microsoft collecting info on my usage, but I would like it to be done in a way that does not impact the performance of my computer. What can I do?

Microsoft Telemetry Compatibility is, simply stated, a virus that ships with Windows.
- Hit the Windows key and type Task Scheduler
- Drill down to Task Scheduler Library | Microsoft | Windows | Application Experience
- Disable Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser
- Disable ProgramDataUpdater
