Over the years Windows has become more bloated than ever. All thanks to Microsoft adding telemetry and AI everywhere. You really shouldn’t be using Windows anymore.
The first recommendation is to switch to a Linux distribution. Linux is an operating system working for you and does not collect any data. Windows on the other hand is working against you to collect all kinds of data on you. Most people would actually be completely fine on Linux and have no need to use Windows.
