I thought MS issued an update that disabled these?
Microsoft developers stated that they "plan" to move these features in Visual Studio 2015 C++ Update 3, but better check it to make it sure and what's more, we're still using Visual Studio 2015 C++ Update 2 based on bugs I'm seeing.
This is not a security issue. The whole thing was massively overblown. It emits an ETW event to the local event log.
