>>segfau+(OP)
In the OP screen share, they toggle various telemetry options on and off, but every time a setting changes, there is a pop-up that says "a setting has changed that requires a restart [of the editor] to take effect" -- and the user just hits "cancel" and doesn't restart the editor. Then, unsurprisingly, the observed behavior doesn't change. Maybe I'm dumb and/or restarting the editor doesn't actually make a difference, but at least superficially, I'm not sure you can draw useful conclusions from this kind of testing...
edit: to be clear I see that they X-out the topmost window of the editor and then re-launch from the bottom bar, but it's not obvious that this is actually restarting the stuff that matters
