# Disable Powershell 7 Telemetry
Last Updated: 2024-08-07
!!! info
The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. **Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.**
## Description
This will create an Environment Variable called 'POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT' with a value of '1' which will tell Powershell 7 to not send Telemetry Data.

## Registry Changes
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_Registry) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/registry).

## Registry Changes
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_Registry) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/registry).

## Service Changes
Windows services are background processes for system functions or applications. Setting some to manual optimizes performance by starting them only when needed.
You can find information about services on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_service) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/windows-services/introduction-to-windows-service-applications).

## Registry Changes
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.

## Registry Changes
Applications and System Components store and retrieve configuration data to modify windows settings, so we can use the registry to change many settings in one place.
You can find information about the registry on [Wikipedia](https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Windows_Registry) and [Microsoft's Website](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/sysinfo/registry).
### Registry Key: RealTimeIsUniversal
