Windows doesn't have a keylogger, and irresponsible 'declutter' tools can do more hard than good.

  We are at the point where windows is irresponsible and those declutter tools are what the responsible user makes use of. You are irresponsible for not using them.

    What clutter? I removed the preinstalled news widget, turned off the telemetry options in the installer (I personally am ok with some light telemetry because I know from experience how useful it is as a developer but I agree it shouldn't be on by default). My NextDNS probably blocks it anyway. There are probably still a few preinstalled apps that I don't use, like candy crush, but they are mostly just stubs that don't download unless you use them - I wouldn't know as I never browse the start menu, I just type the first few characters and press enter. I check Autoruns occasionally and everything seems reasonably well-behaved, and I haven't had a BSOD in several years except for a few caused by crappy third party 'security' kernel drivers.

    Which declutter tools specifically?
