   Yes, that's it. I hadn't noticed that it had options to configure
settings. It seems to be taking control of the Registry settings
somehow. Whatever it does, I've used it for a year now without
a peep from Windows Update.

   I also use Simplewall firewall, which blocks a lot of Windows
surveillance. And I hunted down tweaks to stop all the inane
popups telling me to do this or that. It takes some work, but
Win10 and 11 can both be rendered quite civilzed.

   I recently set up a  new computer and let it fully update
before beginning the cleanup. I was amazed at what a mess
it was even just compared to a year ago. News and
Interests, with ads, flashing at me. At one point I saw an
icon that seemed to be blue shoes on the taskbar. Huh? It
turned out to be Windows wanting to offer me a dozen links
to fluff stories about Elvis Presley's birthday. I had no idea
that things had degenerated so far. And that was without
even seeing Copilot. I guess I must have removed that before
it had a chance to intrude.
