When you use a rule-based firewall behind a router, security is not a concern. Every single port and process is blocked by default in the rule-set, so there's no way anything's getting in or out, or starting, without approval, not even dynamic link libraries or other sneaky methods to get access. Only thing you have to worry about is the port 80 TCP-IP traffic, and even that can be honed-down to very limited access in a rule-based software firewall.

when you build an application using MS Visual Studio (I'd guess the majority of professional Windows programmers use it), their telemetry suites are, by default and silently, compiled into your program as well so your application has the completely unexpected 'feature' of collecting user and usage data for MS.
script makes sense, you should write the whole thing in powershell instead of batch though at least as a challenge, you're halfway there already.
for the most part, a stateful firewall with packet inspection is the best way to tell MS to get bent, but that sort of thing can be expensive and difficult to set up.
Ya, i think i heard about the Visual Studio stuff. And yeah i should re-write it in powershell, i need to git gud at PS. Since it is one of the few things that Microsoft has made that are actually good.

I am glad you like it. Consider saving the code block as a .bat file and running it. It will de-cancer your Windows.
