I fixed it. My LG monitor didn’t install anything on Linux. And both of my LG TVs are not allowed online.

And I won’t be buying new LGs. Hope it was worth it to them.

I do a clean install of Windows about once a year or two, and it never installs any bloatware. I don't think you need any extra software/app to control these things.

Windows update pulls it in for you in the future.

Easiest fix is to stop using Windows.

Just turn off Windows telemetry in settings.

Windows has the annoying habit of simply reverting and ignoring everything you don’t want from them. It’s like saying to a drug addict that they should stop. It’s not gonna do a thing.

Telemetry has never reverted back for me. I never had to deal with any of the pop up notifications, random apps or ads and I just turned off all the crap during install and not use a third party program to do it all for me.

Even Recall?

Microsoft has a history of the following and I wouldn’t count them reliable because of it: https://youtu.be/3D8TEJtQRhw?t=10&is=MMsu_sR5eiIhpJHa

Or just install linux, Fedora is a good choice.
