For those that have this issue,

Disclaimer:

misuse can seriously fuck up windows. Disabling things that shouldnt be, is bad. Many of the services are required by other aplications to run. Do not disable any Microsoft services you dont know what they do - otherwise disable as many as possible until the computer stops working.

If you can not read or just want to uncheck everything you see, this is not for you:

Origin side loads even when you disable it's start up service (super annoying)

If you're talking about "ea background service", you can disable it by deactivating background downloads in the settings.

How about no

Normally I'm cool with all the suggestions to use Linux when Windows is making itself worse. It provides a FOSS alternative that avoids the new anti-feature.

But this is not an attack on Windows. Linux has startup apps as well.

Linux apps generally don't ask for this permission unnecessarily though. I remember back when I used windows everything I installed was bundling its own update manager that runs at startup etc.

For good reason, made the switch around the same time joining lemmy and haven’t looked back.

prep a live usb and try a few different window managers on whatever distro you align with, (hearing lime is easiest for beginners) youl know when you arrived home.
