Windows Spy Blocker = This will add a bunch of Windows IP addresses to your Windows Firewall. The basic settings should not impede functionality. It should also allow you to switch ntp (how Windows sets it's Clock) to more open alternatives.
-
InfluxDB

Then when I've done all that, I plug in the ethernet, and install a firewall. Usually either Safing's Portmaster, or one that comes in with an anti-virus (like ESET). Sadly, they usually require an internet connection to download the files needed to install.
-
This Is Windows 11 = Is a tool that has a bunch of things in one. It'll allow you to change back to the old File Manager, it'll change the taskbar back to the older version, it'll help remove bloat, and install new software, and so on.
-
Privatezilla = Is an open source alternative to ShutUp 10, but be careful what you enable/disable. It has options that will impede functionality.
-
privacy.sexy
Open-source tool to enforce privacy & security best-practices on Windows, macOS and Linux, because privacy is sexy
Privacy-Sexy = Is an open source .bat creator, that's very powerful. Even more with Privatezilla, be VERY careful what you do with it. I find it's the best one to remove Edge, and Cortana (if not already done so).
-
Hardentools = It's good for security. It'll help (if you work at a company) setup often mandatory security patches for you. Even if you're a regular user, I'd click on Advanced (Do not just use as-is), and tick anything that says "Office", and "Acrobat".
-

The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

Also Tiny Nvidia Update Checker. Checks for updates and prompts you when there's a new version.

hid-fanatecff
Driver to support FANATEC input devices, in particular ForceFeedback of various wheel-bases
The fanatec wheel should be supported by this HID driver, but I have not tested it out. And the Rift S is just a no go.
