Stoping WIndows 10 Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry/Remote Telemetry

I noticed I had a process taking 7% of my cpu time, it was called Microsoft Compatibility Telemetry. A search indicated that this was probably sending info to MS and it would not be a big harm to stop it. I found a way of easily doing that on the link below:

I used Method 1 below, (taken from that site as is, please use at your own risk! All credit goes to the original authors of the above page!)
=============================================:
1) On your keyboard, press the Windows logo key  and R at the same time to invoke a Runcommand.
2) Type gpedit.msc and click OK.
Note: If you cannot find gpedit.msc on your Windows 10, here is the method to got it.
3) Go to Computer Configuration >  Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Data Collection and Preview Builds.

4) Double-click Allow Telemetry.

5) Select Disabled, then click OK.
