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.
