What is Telemetry in Windows 10
Telemetry  is an automated process, where data is collected at remote points and transmitted back to the ‘parent’, who uses it for the purpose or measuring, monitoring and improving services.

Configure & disable Windows 10 Telemetry settings
To manage all the configurations and network settings, you will have to have Windows 10 Enterprise or Windows 10 Education, v 1511 or later installed. These OS versions allow you to configure and disable Telemetry at the Security level, turn off Windows Defender Telemetry, MSRT reporting along with the ability to turn off all other connections to Microsoft services and prevent Windows from sending any data to Microsoft.
Levels of Telemetry in WindowsThere are 4 levels of telemetry in Windows 10.

• Security. In the level, only the telemetry data that is required to keep Windows devices secure is collected, and it is available in Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education, and Windows 10 IoT Core editions only.
• Basic. This level gathers a minimum set of data which is critical for understanding the device and identifying problems.
• Enhanced. The next level gathers data about how you use Windows and its apps and helps Microsoft improve the user experience.
• Full. This level gathers all of the above information and any additional data that may be required to identify and to help fix problems.
  

Change level of Telemetry
If you wish to change the level of telemetry on your system, open Group Policy Editor and navigate to the following setting:

Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Data Collection And Preview Builds\Allow Telemetry

Here select Enabled and then from the drop-down, select Basic or any level which your version of OS allows.

Disable Telemetry
If you are an individual Home user and your version of Windows 10 does not ship with Group Policy Editor,
Run regedit to open the Registry Editor and navigate to the following key:

• Open Registry Editor.
• Go to the following Registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DataCollectionTip: You can access any desired Registry key with one click.
  If you do not have such a Registry key, then just create it.
• There you need to create a new a 32-bit DWORD value named AllowTelemetry and set it to 0.
• Now, you need to disable a couple of Windows services.

Configure Telemetry settings for individual components
If you wish to set the telemetry levels for some of Windows 10 functions individually,
you can do that too. Windows 10 allows you to configure telemetry settings for its following components
and thereby control the data that is sent to Microsoft:

• Cortana
• Date & Time
• Device metadata retrieval
• Font streaming
• Insider Preview builds
• Internet Explorer browser
• Mail synchronization
• Microsoft Edge browser
• Network Connection Status Indicator
• Offline maps
• OneDrive
• Preinstalled apps
• Privacy Settings
• Software Protection Platform
• Sync your settings
• Teredo
• Wi-Fi Sense
• Windows Defender
• Windows Media Player
• Windows spotlight
• Windows Store
• Windows Update
• Windows Update Delivery Optimization
  

You will be able to turn off telemetry for individual components using various ways.
It could be via the UI, Group Policy, Registry, MDM policy or Windows ICD.
This table shows which paths are available for configuring the settings.
