Disabling all of those are standard settings in Windows 10 and 11.

Most are just right click on the icon/taskbar, opening settings and finding the setting that disables it.

Not entirely. There are many, many hidden telemetry settings that normal users can't access. It's why stuff like WPD (windows privacy dashboard) exist. Windows doesn't let you uninstall most of that stuff either.
