Microsoft NSAifies Windows 7 and Windows 8

[Mystik]

Since Windows got away fairly easily with Windows 10, and how it added features that collect everything about you under the sun (source: here), they decided to do the same for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

To remove the updates:
1) Open Start menu
2) Type in cmd
3) Right click cmd.exe shortcut that appears and choose 'Run as administrator' and then click 'Ok'
4) Right click on the opened cmd prompt and paste the following strings in:

Code:

wusa /uninstall /kb:3068708 /quiet /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3022345 /quiet /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3075249 /quiet /norestart wusa /uninstall /kb:3080149 /quiet /norestart

5) Restart and make sure they are not visible in Control Panel -> Programs and features -> Show installed updates. They can also be uninstalled from there if they are still visible there.

However Windows will continue to offer these updates to you, but you can right click them in Windows Update and choose 'Hide update'.
