You've likely already heard of it, but give the Chris Titus Powershell debloater a try: https://christitus.com/windows-tool/

Doesn't even require an install, you can run it portable through the shell. Lets you nix a crazy amount of telemetry and corporate sorcery.

Just setting up the OS you can toggle a lot of the things off, I don't know why you'd leave those enabled in the first place! That and disable several more optional services too once in the desktop in settings. Though 11 is a resource hog, it's quick to undo it-not that I'm defending MS. Please utilize whatever resources necessary
