OCD, privacy and Windows 11

firefly: > So I guess my question is, how much does Windows 11 really “spy” on you? It’s not quite “spying” but Windows collect quite some data by default. If you have a Windows system set up in the EU and do not have a latest laptop with copilot feature just do not use a MS account, use only a local one to log on Windows, disable data collection in the settings and eventually use the group policy guide. You will be fine for your threat model, don’t stress too much your OCD for this.
