    Next time your fan kicks into high gear during the trading day, launch Process Explorer and TcpView, and check out what's using all that cpu power, then look at TcpView at the established connections. Windows calling home with useless bs. There is so much crap in Windows 11 that no one in the world needs... it not only jams up your cpu, but your friggin i/o bandwith too.

    Turn all that crap off. No fans, less latency.

    I used to evaluate those fanciful great s/w.
    I used to evaluate those anti-virus s/w.
    And to remove those anti-virus s/w, you have to install paid anti-anti-virus s/w.
    And to remove those anti-anti-virus s/w, you have to install paid anti-anti-anti-virus s/w etc etc
    Those were the wasteful days.

    I will just stick to the humble windows features.

    But if you are into hacking / anti hacking,
    you have to evaluate tons of absolute best fanciful great hacking / anti hacking s/w.



    Happy evaluating those absolute best s/w.

    Is that a poem? Whatever.

    Different strokes for different folks I guess. And by all means, enjoy Msft Maps, Microsoft Feedback, Microsoft Tips, Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Skype, 3DBuilder, Asphalt 8, Microsoft News, Feedback Hub, Cortona... and about 15 others.

    All this software does is save time by turning multiple web searches (depending on what you want to disable) and the ensuing goat rope clusterf*ck of trying to follow 20 different steps... into one click.

    Hey, if you want a dozen processes running in the background sending god only knows what to MSFT... more power to ya homes.

    And since you like it so much... can you tell us all what Cortona was ever supposed to do? I'm not sure even MSFT figured that one out. At least they nixed it on 11.

    If it wasn't on Windows 7.... most normal people don't need it.

    Part of why I enjoy Linux, everything imaginable can be customised. No silly artificial limits for "just because" as reasoning.

    Yes, but can I play World of Tanks on Linux? Let's get priorities straight!
