I created this application after getting tired of seeing settings change for no apparent reason. Due to privacy concerns of how Microsoft is with their aggressive telemetry I decided to use this to make sure my settings stay in tact.

What does “all known Windows privacy and telemetry settings” entail and mean?
Registry and group policy?
Is this sourced from a shared effort project of known stuff, or does this project track it’s own, and would need notice and updates of new settings?
It’s theoretically possible to extract all the GPO effected registry keys from the ADMX files Microsoft releases, but yeah, I have serious doubts that any tool like this will be able to just detect and track every distinct setting. Let alone accurately identify what each does. I’m sure there’s at least one setting that’s been carried over from the “stuff it in an .ini in a system folder” days.
But if there is some community sourced list for settings, where they’re stored, and how they work that would be amazing!
