I mean yes... but with Pro & Enterprise you can make a local account and you have access to the local group policy editor to change whatever you want. Even basic install with local account, uninstall the store apps shit that come preinstalled (DO keep the MS store installed), get Ublock Origin on Edge and also download Firefox to use and its fine imo. You could also use: O&O ShutUp10++ https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 and/or Winaerotweaker https://winaerotweaker.com/ https://winaerotweaker.com/ OR if you REALLY want you can use Windows 10 IoT LTSC and it is REALLY stripped down Windows 10: https://archive.org/details/en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_dvd_257ad90f_20211210 https://archive.org/details/en-us_windows_10_iot_enterprise_... https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10LTSC/comments/qw1qrs/ltsc_2021_vs_iot_ltsc_2021_tips_on_installations/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10LTSC/comments/qw1qrs/ltsc_... Is that a lot of work and tweaks etc? Yes, but imo so is getting a Linux Desktop distro exactly right, and part of the fun for me, like ricing.
