Looking through the task scheduler>>Active Tasks, I have found at least four _Telemetry_ spyware that should not have been there as I never knowingly downloaded it or gave permission. I even do not have automatic windows update, so it was either part of the OS in stealth mode, or forced in. Remember back in 2015 when Microsoft had a scandal with their phony updates which was really spyware?...
