Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry is known for its high disk and CPU usage and suspicious anti-privacy activities.
I've used the previous methods to disable it but all of them failed to disable it, as it returns to run again.
Moreover, weird activity was detected via Process Monitor where Compatibility Telemetry is trying to write files to my antivirus location.
