So I just started messing around with the settings in my windows and account tied to it. And good Lord, this thing’s just as bad as Android. 😒 ? The thing is literally saving all my inquiries and everything to my Microsoft account. I can’t even turn off some of these features as far as trying to stop them. Many privacy settings are also buried all over the place. When did this happen?

If you use something like simplewall or Portmaster you can block every OS communication with the mothership and make it look like you are offline for them :)
Probably soon they are making it that you can’t use Windows offline though lol
I just set a static IP in Windows, then block that IP from the internet in my OpenWRT firewall.
