Are there any open-source tools that allow me to disable telemetry for Adobe, Windows, Microsoft, NVIDIA, AMD, GitHub Desktop, Docker Desktop, VS Code, and other applications? How can I disable telemetry and enhance my overall Windows experience?

If you have to use Windows, there are at least two mandatory apps

Thanks you. Optimizer is great

There are several apps to gut Windows, but the Optimizer is the most complete I know. The good thing of Windows is, that are tons of FOSS apps for it out there to show the middle finger to M$.
