They may not even be software settings, just fake switches. It's been proven that with all Microsoft Windows telemetry switches off, Windows still sends lots of telemetry back to its telemetry servers daily.
It's worse than that. Those of us with experience know how to use the Hosts file to short-circuit Dynamic Name Server calls for addresses and keep websites from being accessible from the machine. Windows 10 ignores Hosts file user settings and communicates directly with the IP numbers of its telemetry hosts, against the wishes of the machine owner.
I don't know how they get out of their present position. They can talk nice all they want, but since they are not trusted, they can't ever get any traction. How do you unbreak a glass? Trust is like that.
