max protection 14% (7of49) on win 8.1
I am using Win 8.1 64bit and running as admin I am unable to immunize telemetry hosts. When I click on the optional tab and try to apply Telemetry Hosts (extensive lists) I am unable to get it to actually apply. Here is the info from the log tab:

I have been unable to get past 14% protection, I have tried reinstalling to no avail. Is there anything I can do?

Actions of spybot antibeacon for windows seem to be partially reversed immediately.
Hello,
I apologize if this has been covered, I did search for it first, but didn't turn up anything seemingly relevant.
I am running Windows 7 Pro x64 and downloaded and ran antibeacon 1.6, disabling all telemetry options. However, re-running the software shows some of the options have become "undone".
*EDIT*
It seems I'm not the only one with this problem, I read the first 15 or so pages, but failed to read the rest, working back from my post, I now see there are others with similar issues. Ooops.
Same issue - my resolution

Thoughts? Thanks!
From the Protection tab screen depicted Click, "Show options". Note the five scheduled tasks listed for CEIP. Open "Task Scheduler" on your pc or device. Browse to each of the 5 scheduled tasks listed to confirm each task. In my case the last 3 tasks were disabled, but I was missing the 1st 2 tasks. I believe the 1st scheduled task was added by a windows update that I blocked. My conclusion was to not worry about the 2 tasks that are missing in "Task Scheduler". The Spybot Anti-Beacon user interface is confusing to state "full protection in place" after clicking Immunize and then listing 96% again when the program is re-opened and run. So the program is not recognizing ( or not displaying to the user) when tasks are missing. Not sure if this was your issue or not, but hope this helps.
Spybot Antii-beacon promptly defeated
I have windows 10
with latest 1.6 anti-beacon.
Run anti-beacon
at [protection], I see one category not applied
I immunize all, Telemetry Services appear to be dealt with.
I go to [optional] and see these protections un-applied
- the second half of One-drive-service
- and Office 15 (2013) Telemetry Scheduled tasks
- and Office 16 (2013) Telemetry Scheduled tasks
I apply them
All appear to be protected. (Actually, I don't use these)
I exit.
(This updates the Hosts, even though no actual change is made. Only marginally annoying.)
Now I check again. I call anti-beacon 1.6
Groundhog day.
Nothing has changed. Changes appear not to have worked, as if the display in the previous run was lying to me. I hate that:
Telemetry Service unprotected, One-drive On-half protected, orofice 15 unprotected, office 16 ditto
This does not look particularly useful.
What to do?
The logs have no date-time, but appear to be new at each session
here is the log (apologies):

OneDrive Service & Group Policy
It appears turning either or both of these on doesn't allow syncing of your OneDrive documents.
It seems obvious but I wasn't sure so I applied both of these optional settings.
So I turned them all off and restarted to get my OneDrive up and running.
So my questions is does one or both of these break OneDrive syncing? Area there other options that could break OneDrive syncing?
