Good afternoon.

After fifteen years of exclusive "Windows 7" use, the one game I consider non-negotiable ("Rimworld") has begun to fail on my beloved OS.
Most of my Paradox games (especially "Crusader Kings III") have already died. I have over seven thousand hours in "Rimworld"! THE two most common Mods that are used in that game cannot run in W7 any longer, as their dual presence always causes "Rimworld" to fail, or even crash to the desktop.

Boy, I sure did try, though!

I know that it IS possible to "un-glow" "Windows 10" and remove the worst excesses of its anti-privacy stalking.

I hope that other people who see this might give me advice on removing the glowmen's stalking of my OS (e.g. privacy features, turning off key loggers), and have that advice preserved on here for the benefit of other users.

All good things come to an end. No OS will top "Windows 7", but after riding this runaway train to the end, it might finally be time to call it quits.

Does anyone here have advice on how to make W10 bearable? How do I install it WITHOUT creating a Microsoft stalker account? How do I prevent mandatory updates from messing with stuff?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
