No known way... Except for all the known ways. Like disabling the search and superfetch services.

Using the hosts file to block the telemetry targets.

Running one of the many batch files or PowerShell scripts to remove the CEIP malware patches from Windows Update.

Please try to be honest when offering technical advice (unless you genuinely didn't know about these options, in which case why are you offering technical advice?)

According to ars technica that does not stop the spyware or background communication with Microsoft. Using a host file to stop it would seem like a good idea, but that will also stop things like security updates and other important services. The script I have seen to stop it will only partially stopstop it.

Updates come from a different host than the telemetry target, so you're okay there.

Search and Super fetch specifically need to be stopped to reduce all the storage snooping.

I'm not saying it's easy, but it can be done.
