Still can't actually opt out of forced updates (non-critical security at least)? Still can't actually kill the extremely invasive telemetry? Still can't get LTSB/equivalent as an individual user to help resolve the aforementioned issues?

I've got rid of updates and some of the tracking on my Win10 pro by disabling the associated windows services. Other annoying quirks like the OneDrive icon can be removed by editing the registry. I do wish that Microsoft would provide an easier way to do this.

There are a few automated scripts that do this... what was it, 98 lite or something like that back in the day... need something similar for windows 10.

It's purchasable online but the source of the keys is probably sketchy.
