Gee, there are so many antispy tools for windows...
Best method to get rid of windows telemetry: linux! :D
But then I needed windows for work and thus a 2nd best solution and after much deliberation i decided on privatezilla, above all because it is open source...
Privatezilla does so many things I could hope for in one swoop. .. and the Microsoft gremlins don't seem to go after me.. That's great.. At the same time, I still get Internet Explorer temp files, Edge logs, etc, so I'm going to keep trying. And like Joao said, it looks like reverting doesn't always work.. nobody should go through that. Tweaking.com program can help revert. If your settings don't go back, you might try the program ShutUp10++ to set them back.
It's decent. Easy, portable, GUI, basic explanations of what each function does.
Two problems are:
You're also probably better off just going through Group Management and Windows settings and doing these yourself, or readingi through a .bat and making sure you understand what each does and what you want so you can edit, save, and implement it anytime you get a new Windows device or reset.
Simplest solution I have found, but the 'revert' options don't work completely and are irreversible, so you end up loosing basic Windows functionality like Search... also its not updated since 2020 (edit: to answer the comment below, apparently this was updated after I originally commented in 2022)
It looks like parts were updated in 2022, but I agree with you about reverting not working completely.
