Last Updated: 2024-08-07

Info

The Development Documentation is auto generated for every compilation of WinUtil, meaning a part of it will always stay up-to-date. Developers do have the ability to add custom content, which won't be updated automatically.

## Description

This will create an Environment Variable called 'POWERSHELL_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT' with a value of '1' which will tell Powershell 7 to not send Telemetry Data.
