Incorrect. There is no supported way to disable telemetry in Windows 10 Home and Pro. It can only be disabled in Windows 10 Enterprise and Education editions.

You need to download a third-party program like O&O's Shutup10 to disable telemetry. As this is not a supported method, Microsoft ignores the user's clear preferences and turns it back on with every major OS update.

You can indeed opt-out of ads, you're correct there.
