i don't think it can be killed "once and for all'. it's possible that it will come back after new windows updates are applied.

have you used this one before? https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

yeah; shutup10 is handy, so that we can run checks and disable all these stuff when we need to. good luck.

Did you reboot your computer?

I'm not sure how i did it but this thing is absent in task manager of my computers for now. I did use gpedit, shutup10, and also remove 2 services manually iinm (forgot the service names but you can look them up via search engines)

edit: i also disabled many things during the initial configurations after a clean install, before i go into the windows desktop.

maybe you can try this: https://www.howtogeek.com/235737/how-to-sto...u-for-feedback/

i must have done something in gpedit.msc also that the configuration for windows feedback feature is greyed out and set to 'never'.

.. i tweaked my system a lot; i really cannot remember what exactly i have applied; and i guess i didn't disable it either. it's just that it doesn't appear in my task manager for some reasons. i usually do this:

1. before going into desktop after a clean install:
- i disable pretty much every option available, including smart screen; i don't use cortana either.

2. after going into desktop:
- install drivers; reboot;
- wise registry cleaner > system tuneup > apply all; reboot;
- windows settings > notifications and actions > turn off all notifications;
- change power plans; turn off hibernate; set pagefile to 0 or custom;
- windows settings > devices > autoplay > turn it off;
- windows settings > personalizations > start > turn off all options;
- windows settings > accounts > sync your settings > turn all options off;
- windows settings > privacy > basically all options, including 'feedback and diagnostics' and 'background apps' > turn all options off; this include 'feedback hub'; reboot; (maybe it's this one?)
- apply shutup10 and blackviper's service list; running through gpedit.msc;
- clean up start menu; optimize all drives; reboot;
- more random custom stuff when i remember to apply them.

sweet added this into my optimization list too thanks!
