Windows 10: Defender: turn off Cloud-Delivered Protection and Automatic Sample Submission off permanently

On this Windows 10 machine 10.0.19045 Build 19045 after every bigger update, Windows Security warns me that "Cloud-Delivered Protection" and "Automatic Sample Submission" are not enabled:And I intentionally turn them off and need to provide the Administrator password when doing so. But after the next system update, Windows Security prompts me again to enable these features and I have to decline both of them again. This repeats over and over again, I don't know how often I've declined these offerings over the years :-So, this is not a new problem, happens on another Windows 10 machine as w

Cloud-delivered protection

Hello all! I was curious as to what personal information is collected about me, if I turn on the 'cloud-delivered protection' in Windows defender security center? I have read the 'privacy statement' multiple times. I have already 'removed', if you will,
any and all allowed shareable content. I guess my question boils down to: Will any additional private data be submitted? If I activate the 'cloud-delivered protection', will it automatically turn on some of the aforementioned settings I have intentionally
turned off?

Also, the Windows defender security center (Under the virus & threat protection settings tab) says that the cloud-delivered protection "Works best with Automatic sample submission turned on". I have zero intentions of turning the automatic sample submission
on.

It is my understanding, from their 'privacy statement', that Windows will get my data with or without my consent, if they really want it. I would really appreciate any feedback from those who have enabled this 'cloud-delivered protection', and if any of
their settings have been automatically changed by Windows?

Any advice will be good advice.

Thank you for your time and attention.
