Just disable all bloatware from telementry, cloud,printers, any sharing, etc... one the first things i do apone reformat is "Windows Debloat",(reply>), @Motoryzen who needs windows updates ? install a few and your set for years lol,(reply>), You don't get it.  Disable it all you want.  Windows updates..RE-enable all of that.  It's been proven time and time again since even the Windows 10 beta days around 4 years ago.  All of your bs regedits, third party software, services.msc edits...etc  DOESN'T do..jack shit against it in the end.<br><br>The only way to finally beat it..is to STOP using Windows..period.
