Windows 11: a spyware machine out of users' control
I recently used Privatezilla to disable automatic updates. Not sure if the same approach works on Windows 11, but you might find the relevant registry keys mentioned in the code helpful: https://github.com/builtbybel/privatezilla/blob/master/src/P...

Making your computer faster
For all the things you might indeed want to do there are about a billion open source programs where you at least have the ability to see what they do. (For example.) Arium is a black box, you have no actual idea what they changed and most people just blindly trust that stuff without verifying (which again you don't actually can't do, at least not completely).

22M, no social life because always paranoid about being hacked?
If you lack any real technical know-how, then look into the basics for securing your primarily used computer. You have a ton of options like proper internet security through ESET. Glasswire is one of my new favorites. There's hardening guides for Windows too.

What can you do to make Windows private/secure? RANT: I am on my *last* straw with Linux
That being said, with the right Windows edition and settings, you can make Windows quite private. Use Windows 11 Enterprise or Education. You can either buy a subscription for it or use an activator like "Massgravel". Be aware that the latter is illegal in most countries, but Microsoft hasn't cared so far. On both editions you can fully deactivate telemetry. Use group policy to do so. Also take care of Cortana. Think about hardening Windows for better security.
