Hi, thank you for the issue. I don't see that it's bug of privacy.sexy, it follows official documentation to disable the telemetry, but more like a bug of Visual Studio that should be reported to their devs. You can run the revert script to reset the state.

Microsoft Source 1
Microsoft Source 2

If someone else can verify this or we can find official docs about this key being dropped, we can move this script to Strict.

Thank you for the report @ntrzr and @Hunanbean-Collective,

I will remove this script from recommendation pool, not even in include in Strict and document the breaking behavior in next patch.

Sad that we did not hear anything back from Microsoft. Feel free to ping them for official info in MicrosoftDocs/intellicode#510. This information was from their repo see blob - intelliCode-privacy.md.

This commit fixess issues #267 and #286 where users reported that
disabling IntelliCode data collection causes Visual Studio 2022 to hang
or become unresponsive.

The script has been updated to remove its recommendation status and
include a warning about these issues. As Microsoft did not respond to
inconsistencies with the official documentation in
MicrosoftDocs/intellicode#510, this commit prevents further disruptions
for privacy.sexy users.

The script is no longer recommended in any preselection and documented clearly in its title and docs in 0.12.8 🚀

@undergroundwires
win: fix Visual Studio remote analysis script #327
4142d08 
This commit improves the IntelliCode privacy settings for Visual Studio
by adjusting registry entries to prevent data collection without
impacting IntelliCode's functionality.

- Fix registry value setting for `DisableRemoteAnalysis` to prevent
  unexpected hangs in Visual Studio.
  This resolves issues reported in #267 and #268.
- Change the script recommentation level to 'Standard', and remove
  previous warnings about potential hangups, based on the successful
  mitigation of these issues.
  This reverts 7f7a84e.
- Incorporate feedback from an official Microsoft statement
  (MicrosoftDocs/intellicode#510), acknowledging the discontinuation of
  certain IntelliCode backend services. This renders the remote analysis
  feature obsolete.
- Revise the documentation to make it more accessible and easier to
  understand.
