Blocking every server Windows desktops connect to manually is a fools errand. The retry and timeout settings for the network connections are set by people with no respectt for your network, only their desire to connect. The most effective way would be an authenticated proxy. Even then Windows abuses credential data and uses that to permit any apps it installed itself whilst punishing you by not using the credentials to connect to Windows updates and Defender. It's a real clusterfuck. Been there, done that.

All this would be kinda workable if feature and security updates weren't bundled together like before, but now windows desktops take all sorts of crap on just to stay secure against CVE's. But the list of talkative uninstallable applications is constantly changing and growing.

I don't think just not using 3/4 of the start menu because you don't want it and it's uninstallable is reasonable either. The whole idea of having a personal computer is personalisation.

I loaded the Win10 xlite system first virtually and then on hardware. It does address all these issues and the system base load and network noise is really low. The start menu has very few items and everything is much like I would like things to be. I have to question the motives of someone to release and maintain that though. They've basically demonetized windows which will piss off M$ if it starts to catch on and that would lead to significant legal issues... so why? Maybe the story about a guy with a family who just likes to tinker and gives the world copies of his home project is legit, but it could be worse. One could easily bake in infostealers and RATS using system services, no antivirus or antimalware would ever be able to find that shit.

It's perfect for my home use on my studio system. I run a lot of cracks on it anyway and never let it touch the internet. I don't have to deal with Defender and UAC, the menu isn't full of useless shit, it's not running all sorts of processes I didn't ask for. It's perfect.

I wouldn't use xlite as a personal online computer though unless it was very task specific. I certainly wouldn't join it to one of my domains, the trust level just isn't there. I don't know if it will steal my cookies and seeds, there's no way to know so I can't trust it.

There's projects on GitHub though which are basically win hack tools. They make creating your own xlite type installation safe and trustable. Once you eat your first monthly roll-up all the bullshit will start again though.
