I corrupt the files. I take ownership, remove inheritance, and then deny Trusted Installer and System access. My windows systems generally have several components neutered like this. Major upgrades will sometimes overwrite my changes, but mostly they stick. Absolutely nonfunctional.

I’d rather not use windows than have to do what you’re doing to keep it functional.

I already don’t. I’ve run Linux as my main OS on home computers for 3-4 years now, and I use MacOS for work.

Seems a lot more annoying than just using linux instead.

Meh. I like things my way. There's a certain satisfaction there.

You can also just use a program to block data access. I have like 15 Microsoft processes barred from the internet because fuck off from my limited data.
