Um, where is this coming from (did I miss a nosey KB update?) and how
can I stop its nosy telemetries?


OOPS!! I hit Send before I was ready.

I see very much the same as you with two exceptions. I do not have the
following files:
APPRAISER_FileInventory.xml
APPRAISER_TelemetryBaseline_TH2.bin
The files I do have are approximately the same size as yours and -- as
were yours -- were updated today. Mine were created 1 December 2018
with a timestamp (before coffee) when I would definitely NOT be updating
any software. I also have a folder in C:\Windows\AppCompat\Appraiser
named Telemetry, which is empty and which was created on 30 November 2018.

I installed two non-Window applications on 1 December from Nirsoft at
http://www.nirsoft.net/. My experience with Nirsoft indicates those
applications would not be sending telemetry to Microsoft.

I installed Security Update for Windows 7 for KB4467107 and Security and
Non-Security Update for .NET Framework for KB4467240 on 30 November at
about the same time the Telemetry folder was created. Unfortunately, my
logging of the Windows 7 update (not a Microsoft logging application)
failed before reporting changes to my file system. My logging of the
..NET update is complete but fails to show the creation of the Telemetry
folder.

If you get an answer to this situation elsewhere, PLEASE report back in
this newsgroup thread.

President Trump still insists that Mexico will eventually pay for
his border wall. If he really believes that, why does he not pay
for it out of his personal billions of dollars and then personally
collect from Mexico?
