Windows 10 Privacy w/ Hosts File

Add the following lines below to your [c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts] file in Windows 10. Make sure you open it from an elevated command prompt so you can save the changes! This will prevent all of the telemetry servers below from resolving so Microsoft Windows 10 will be unable to report your system data back to Microsoft. Take your privacy back!
