With the latest edition of Windows 10 or 11, it seems that even if you disable Activity History from PC Settings > Privacy > Activity History, Microsoft still collects activity history as you can see here.

With a simple registry tweak, we can permanently disable Activity History. As always, you should back up your registry before proceeding. Optionally, this can be downloaded as a reg file and merged with your registry.

Video tutorial:



First, you might want to clear your activity history.

Press the Windows + R, type in regedit then hit Enter

Navigate to, or type in the address bar:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System

Right-click on the right click on New > DWORD (32-bit) Value

Name the new DWORD PublishUserActivities

Verify the Value data is 0.



4: Exit the registry editor, then restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
