Windows 10: Comprehensive list of privacy settings? Also: Death to telemetry.

I think I've got most of them locked down, but this is probably the 6th time I've tried to set up Windows in the past year or so -- it's a long story involving a lot of defective merchandise -- and it all blends together. It's not a particularly intuitive process either.

Also? Death to telemetry. I can't find anything recent on how to disable it and/or uninstall components and internet searches keep sending me to this jerk's article.

NVIDIA Telemetry Spooks Privacy-sensitive Users, How to Disable it

I'm sure you've got Windows 10 and/or GeForce users who:

- Do have an issue with telemetry, but aren't convinced it's intrusive enough to justify avoiding the software.

- Do have an issue with telemetry, and do accept the most extreme claims about its intrusiveness, but this is still outweighed by the disadvantages of avoiding the software.

- Do or did have an issue with telemetry but were keen to use the software and weren't able to handle the cognitive dissonance, so they supressed their telemetry concerns either universally, or in this specific instance.

- Have concerns about telemetry, but don't see any harm in this context (e.g. believe it'll only be used for purposes they consider benign, such as product improvement, marketing strategies...).

- Simply don't have any issue with telemetry of any kind (e.g. "it sends them a list of all my passwords and all my files? so what?!").

- Switch between several of the above positions depending what day of the week it is.

Add to that individual nuances and perhaps even people who don't fit any of the above.
