What's the simplest/best tool to just nix all the Windows/MS telemetry crap?

I'm already running Tiny11 + Win11Debloat, which removes some of it.

Sophia script[0] is amazing for debloating windows.

You need to take a bit of time to configure what you want it to do, then run it on every computer you configure.

If you’re fighting the fundamental nature of your tools, I think it behooves you to at least consider swapping them for others.

Not saying you should switch. That’s a personal decision. But it might be time to take a look at what else is out there.

I've been running Unix and Mac desktops too for decades. I have to fight them too, but in different ways :)

Use Windows education or Enterprise editions and follow this guide https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/windows/

But windows will always introduce more telemetry tracking and Recall. If you want to have privacy and not be surveilled by Microsoft/Windows, use Linux.
