Hi joblack,
I re-enable these settings each startup. I don't know if it's enough or not, but if you or anyone else here has any better solution (paid or not), please don't hesitate to post it here. And a cursory search on Google shows that Windows 7 and 8(.1) may also be similarly tainted. Does upgrading to Windows 10 Pro allow one to turn it off?
As for why MS does it, I think it's clear: they want to harvest data in order to sell it. Otherwise, why bother?
