I have Outlook2013 Stand Alone (Click 2 Run, downloaded version) with Office 2010 (installed from original CDs without Outlook) and have 2 identical tasks running: OfficeTelemetryAgentFallBack and OfficeTelemetryAgentLogOn, when I boot up that start C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\msoia.exe. I don't want msoia.exe to collect my (e-mail?) data and send this to MSFT (privacy concern while W10 1909 is probably blocking this).

I read on a website to delete these two tasks in Task Scheduler but when I disable the tasks Click 2 Run refreshes the tasks (ready) after each Office2013 update.

I checked the registry and found msoia.exe in the following hive:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\ClickToRun\REGISTRY\MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Components\926365C5183FD2145A49E8099D106FA5

"00005109F00000000000000000F01FEC"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office 15\\Root\\Office15\\msoia.exe"

The key 926365C5183FD2145A49E8099D106FA5 is only mentioned once in the registry and I wonder if I modify the value for name "00005109F00000000000000000F01FEC" (Microsoft Office Mondo 2013) to 0 (zero) if that causes problems (system corruption) and will stop refreshing the two tasks that I have disabled?

Name "00005......"(Microsoft Office Mondo 2013) is linked to many other keys in he registry, so I don't want to delete that.
