There’s plenty of powershell scripts to “reclaim windows” etc. I was a sysadmin in mixed environment for 15 years and Windows Enterprise you can disable all the creepy features on. This was critical infra environment with explicit firewall rules for everything and no traffic from the end user that didn’t go through our proxies.
Just regedit delete all programs that run at startup besides the default page file.
If you do this and then later you face some sort of issue with Windows, remember that it might not be Windows’ fault.
And people say Linux is complicated…
I’ve used Startup Delayer for ~15 years. Not perfect, but it really helps manage startup processes.

Sounds like a great way to break your PC.
