Tracking and privacy on Windows is becoming atrocious, I didn't know about the built in keylogger until I ran a declutter tool.

Unpopular opinion but to stop Microsoft's shenanigans = legislation. Opt-in by default would be a good start. Transparency tools to show what's being exported to MS. How about stopping forced major updates too.

User needs protective legislation fast.

Windows doesn't have a keylogger, and irresponsible 'declutter' tools can do more hard than good.

We are at the point where windows is irresponsible and those declutter tools are what the responsible user makes use of. You are irresponsible for not using them.
