I tried using this, but after enabling? disabling? something I probably shouldn't have, I need to run certain apps as administrator in order for them to work. So be careful using this.

Windows Recommendations

Windows has become a more secure operating system with a strong focus on security. New versions of Windows were built with hardware isolation, verified boot, and strong exploit mitigations. Although Windows does contain a lot of telemetry, a lot of it can be disabled in the settings. Do not be paranoid. Microsoft is a trusted company. Most people should use the newest Windows version (Windows 11) with a Microsoft account and only install apps from the Microsoft Store. For the best security, you should buy a recent Windows Secured-Core PC.
