I'm in the same boat, of needing to still use Windows.

Check out Windows XLite. Its a highly customized iso that gets rid of all the bullshit. No automatic updates (they're provided as cumulative installers), no windows defender, no edge, no cortana, no store, no Xbox, etc. Those things are all stil available, too. Also, all the telemetry is disabled from registry and gpolicy, and since no auto updates, they won't mess with those entries to "uh oh we turned on our spying again, and didn't tell you."

Its a massive breath of fresh air, feels like going back to XP and 7, when your fresh install has nothing at all. Not even dot.net and vcredist, which are also available.

I feel like this is just enabling Microsoft.
