I turned off windows updates via registry changes, I am on a windows 10 machine
so they claim there are no more updates for it anymore. We shall see. I
disabled Cortana and removed edge from my windows 11 as well as deleting one
drive and disabling any further updates until change the registry back. I
suspect a lot of Microsoft snoopware in those updates and my machine runs
faster with no problems for 6 months now. Good luck with the leased service.
