It will turn itself back on during a background update, though. Should I be expected to check it daily to make sure Microscam isn’t stealing my data?

If you HAVE to use the toilet of an OS. Use a system(machine) startup script that runs a cleanupon every boot. Its a hot mess solution to a hot mess OS. But at the end of the day they cannot be trusted and changes are coming to windows access levels which will prevent the cleanup of “essential” apps, services, and configurations.

So switch to Mint.

Should not, wonder if there’s any adguard/pihole lists to smack OneDrive/box/Dropbox/etc domains and just take these services out before they can start.

Indeed, it’s that rapist mentality, just like Rossmann calls it out in his videos.

You say that as if it was easy, and as if it doesn’t come back again a few Windows updates down the road.

It was easy for me, and has never come back. Then again, a lot of the fear mongering I see about windows has never been my experience with it.

Stealing all your files to train AI. And they complain that MS Office gets pirated. Privacy and default Opt-Out needs to be a Federal Law. Corporations need to pay millions in fines when they violate that.
