Toby, go through Settings/Privacy&Security and turn off all of them to begin with.
(also in the small Advanced tab on the right)
There are a hundred App "sharing" settings all turned ON by default.

Also turn off remote access unless working away from home.

Also might want to kill CoPilot Cortana and OneDrive through the Registry and Gpeditor:
It may change back with updates.

Turn off 'participating':

Make the Search feature look at your local HD instead of of opening stupid Microsoft Edge for AI search which doesn't make sense:

That's a start.

Some other suspect Apps which can't be stopped because of Server Initiated Healing:
CTFloader (online translation despite only english)
UserOOBE (supposed to help find and update with initial setup only)
AggregatorHost (telemetry whether you wanted it or not)
