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.
