    As always, there will be ways to point Windows Update at the long term support channels meant for government and people who have contracted support with Microsoft.

    CoPilot and Recall are both disable-able, and I beilieve CoPilot can be fully uninstalled. If you don’t have a Pro license for Windows (giving you access to Group Policy) it’s a good idea to use MASGrave to activate as Pro for free. Most of these settings are best controlled through Group Policy, as that is Microsoft’s official tool meant for SysAdmins to manage this zort of thing.

    Still, terrible look for Microsoft, great time to try Linux. Just not so end of the world as a lot of articles seem to indicate.
