I know it's a third party tool so it is not going to be as good as having the settings you want as a default but Winaero Tweaker can address a majority of these issues for you.
2 clicks and a reboot to disable all telemetry, disabling windows update so that it must be run manually, and there are a few tweaks to windows explorer that will return some of the function that used to come in Windows 7.
If you include running some of the default Windows App uninstaller scripts you can purge a good chunk of the bloat out of Windows 10 and feel a little better about having the security patches that Windows 10 has above Windows 7.
