Disable Application Impact Telemetry (AIT)

PrivacySafe riskReversible

Sets AITEnable = 0 under Policies\Microsoft\Windows\AppCompat. AIT is the Application Compatibility subsystem's telemetry agent — it records which programs you run and how they behave and reports it to Microsoft. Disabling it stops that program-usage reporting without affecting the compatibility shims that keep old apps working. Reversible.
