Windows 10: How do I get rid of ALL the telemetry, bloatware, and tracking? In windows 10 22H2 64bit

Self-explanatory title. I want it all gone. And if not all of it, as much as possible.All of the bloatware, tracking, spyware, telemetry, etc. The things i would like to keep are XBox game bar and Microsoft store The amount of bloat in a default windows installation makes me want to cry, and sometimes I do.Linux would be infinitely better but I have to stay on windows for unrelated reasons such as; Certain apps/games I use are not supported. and I've been using windows just about my whole life, it would be painful to go to linux.I want my online stuff accessible by me only, I dont like any 3

Disabling Windows Compatibility Telemetry - Windows 10

Hello,

Windows telemetry inform our decisions and focus our efforts in providing the most robust, most valuable platform for your business and the people who count on Windows to enable them to be as productive as possible. Telemetry gives users a voice in
the operating system’s development. For more information regarding Windows telemetry, you may check this
article.

If you don't want to participate in providing automatic feedback to improve the operating system, we can disable Windows Telemetry by following these steps:

• Run the Services desktop application.
• Locate Diagnostics Tracking Service in the services list, and open its
  Property Sheet.
• Stop the Diagnostics Tracking Service, and then change the Startup Type to
  Disabled.
• Click OK.

We'll keep an eye out for your response.

Disabling Windows Compatibility Telemetry - Windows 10

All your reply does, is show Microsoft's disconnect from reality. For one, there's no longer a Diagnostics Tracking Service. That's no coincidence, btw, as MS purposely keeps changing the compat telemetry stuff around (so people have a harder
time disabling it). And/or keep re-enabling the compat telemetry in nearly every update. Read the thread. So, processblocker is the ONLY thing, so far, that truly, and persistently, blocks your compat telemetry now.

'Telemetry gives users a voice in the operating system’s development.' And, pray-tell, what is this?! Am I supposed to feel empowered now?! If you guys would REALLY listen to us, you wouldn't be constantly going out of your way to shove the compat telemetry
in our faces to begin with.

But since this is the probably the closest we get to having your ear, please hear this: compatTelRunner is an incredibly invasive piece of software, which constantly keeps your disk(s) bogged down. For instance, I have some junctions on my SSD to my game
disk. And no, I really don't want the combat telemetry malware to scan my entire game disk at every change made to my install. I really don't. And I really don't get why you people don't get that.

If you really want us to 'be as productive as possible', then stop trashing our hard disks!
