Sounds like a precursor to Win 10. Do I need it?
No. Compatibility is just another telemetry tool. It is unnecessary.

Not entirely correct. The KB when installed works in conjunction with
3035583 compatibility checker, i.e. not just another telemetry tool.

If 3035583 is not installed, it's harmless. If concerned, if installed,
telemetry for the KB can be disabled by turning the CEIP off.


How is that done?


You can answer some of these questions, with the following forums.

http://www.vistax64.com
http://www.sevenforums.com
http://www.eightforums.com
http://www.tenforums.com

Each has tutorials and a tutorial index. I usually use a search
engine, and just search against the whole site. That's another
way to find interesting items.

"site:eightforums.com tutorials index"

http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials...html#post95008

For CEIP, the list of Win8 tutorials refers to a Win7 entry.
Many tutorials are copied from one site to another, if
they are similar enough.

"Customer Experience Improvement Program - Join or Unjoin"

Setting at the bottom of Action Center.

I didn't even know that was there.

Windows 7 Orb(Start button), type Customer in the search box, select
'Change Customer Experience Program Settings'.

Then no telemetry can be sent if the KB is installed.
