The writing is on the wall--I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

Group Policy.

Enterprises can't allow such external accesses/data for security and compliance issues (depending on the industry).

Via GP, all that can be disabled.

Even all the telemetry?

I really hate dealing with group policies (and I work in enterprise endpoint management, I prefer more modern management). AD/Group policies can only be updated on site or VPN, and they're only really instructions for registry settings anyway.

But I'll try that out. I don't have a windows server though, nor do I want one. But I guess I could use gpedit.
