QuoteSpybot Anti-Beacon is a standalone tool which was designed to block and stop the various tracking (telemetry) issues present in Windows 10. It has since been modified to block similar tracking functionality in Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems.

I believe the telemetry functions can all be switched off in the user settings on Windows 10 (if you know where to look), but I guess this could be a handy 'one click' solution.
