In the Control Panel Action Center I have Opted out of participating in the CEIP program (don't ever remember opting in). Here's what I see:
Task scheduler
Customer Experience Improvement Program (3 tasks)
Application Experience (3 tasks )
Services
Application Experience (AeLookupSvc), Path C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k netsvcs, Manual,
It looks to me like I can disable the 3 CEIP tasks (consolidator, KernelCeipTask and USbCeip) and at least the 2 Application Experience tasks (AitAgent and ProgramDataUpdater).
However, I'm not so sure about the Microsoft Compatibility Appraiser task although "Telemetry" sounds to me like data collection for something. And I think I would need the AeLookupSvc (Application Experience) Service as it looks to me like it's needed for updates.
Anyway, would appreciate some help here. Thanks - David

I would like to know what I can disable/get rid of or is there a KB update that was installed that I can uninstall. Note that invagent.dll is using up a lot of CPU, usually 300 - 400 seconds of kernel time at close to 100% daily.
