I use Windows Privacy Dashboard[0] to patch Windows 11 for privacy. There are many others like it, but I found this app intuitive and the ability to grab the latest telemetry block-list is great (Windows 11 introduces new and undocumented telemetry hosts all the time).
I primarily use Windows 11 for gaming and for Office 365. For anything sensitive, I use various Linux distributions. I also have a spare Windows 11 virtual machine (VM) for testing purposes and it's completely offline. I like to try out different Windows software in the VM and have it offline because some software I don't trust and I acquired it from sketchy sites, or it could be phoning home and sending sensitive data to some random server.
