Of the around 8 computers in my house I am down to just a single Windows machine and every time I see an update queued I wonder just how much worse it will be after the update is applied. How many new bugs, reset settings and user hostile shit will I have to put up with this time.

Move to ltsc if you have to use Windows. You don't get the updates everyone else gets. Just security updates.

I second this - it's a whole world of better .. install with a few anti telemetry and anti-crap scripts.

Any scripts you recommend?

I hit the point a while ago of just setting my connection as metered so it doesn't download any updates. I know it's less secure, but I just want to use my computer and not spend hours fixing problems they create with every update.

I just install 10 LTSC on the computers I REALLY need windows on. The updates have no new features at this point, just security. I don't use it too much, but it's just less obnoxious than 11.
