What AI services and data collection can I effectively remove from Windows 11?

I hate Windows 11’s current direction, plain and simple. I want to return all/most of my settings in a way that most closely resembles Win 10 or Win 7. No AI, as little data collection as possible, no “recommendations”, no Bing.

While the easiest answer to this problem is probably “install Linux”, there are still a few programs I need to run on Windows.

This question deals with disabling Bing AI search, but I want to widen the scope.

To make things quick, I would also accept reputable scripts that do these things semi-automatically.

So, what can I do on my private PC to shut down most of these Windows 11 additions?
