Since we first reported last week in our story NVIDIA Adds Telemetry to Latest Drivers; Here's How to Disable It new drivers have been released. We assumed that they might remove telemetry considering the backlash but our research finds nothing has changed.
I then installed just the drivers by unchecking everything else under a custom installation.

As you can see, NVIDIA installed only the drivers as requested.
Following a reboot, I used Microsoft Autoruns again, typed in nvidia in the search box, and sure enough, telemetry remains.
I know between MajorGeeks and numerous website links including Reddit, we reached millions of people. Apparently, it wasn't enough, or NVIDIA has their "reasons" for keeping telemetry in place.
