Do any Visual C++ versions have telemetry?

[Elliot77]

My research indicates telemetry was added in the 2015 version, and then removed in an update soon after.

I have not found anything about telemetry being present in the 2015 (updated version) and beyond but I just wanted to check here - is this correct?

i'd say when you run installers, and those that have 2 checkpoints

1 is "agree to terms"
2 is "send data bla bla bla"

but i guess it only sends if you enable/allow it

then 2 system services ask for network access
