I just said fuckit and ran an exe called CrapFIxer. Not going to link it because I have no idea if it's actually safe but I ran it on August 19th and my gaming PC doesn't seem to be part of a bot network... yet.

Its probably safer to activate and run windows 11 ltsc after verifying the iso from multiple sources. No need for scripts after that and you don't have to worry about the next new update forcing copilot into another part of Windows for a long time.
