That is why there is the much more expensive enterprise editions of windows.  They don't spy, install things when someone pays to be in your system, and allow for more control over things like updates and when they install.  We are the product and are being charged for windows at the same time.  Corporate folks Will pay much more and have service contracts for all that testing to be done on you and not them and often to get their products in your face.

Move to Linux.

If you are not a gamer then you really have no reason to be on Windows anymore.   If you really need some piece of software you can typically run it in wine, proton, or use a FOSS alternate.
