      The installer has a checkbox for CIP, which is the data collection tool. Don’t install the CIP, and it won’t collect telemetry.

        Works for CIP, but not for NVIDIA drivers:

        Intel CIP is functionally similar to the Telemetry component of the GeForce Software. NVIDIA’s Telemetry is installed and enabled by default along with your GeForce graphics drivers, and you cannot opt out from it, as it does not even figure in the “custom” installer options.

        (Emphasis mine)

          Sure, but that wasn’t the question. They asked how to opt out of Intel’s telemetry gathering, since that’s the topic of the article. The article just happens to also mention nvidia and AMD, since they’re competing companies with similar products.

            I wasn’t replying to the person asking how to disable it; it was a secondary comment in response to your answer, and the sentence I quoted was from the article the post is about, so I figured it was relevant? :P
