Though you better use something like
forum.oszone.net
or
wsusoffline.net
Simplix Update Pack is faster and better curated.

Disable 'Recommended Updates'
Only install 'Important Updates

You don't "disable" "Allow Telemetry." You have to enable it and set it to the lowest possible setting, which is security on LTSB/Enterprise/Education. Looking at Wireshark with Security on, I never see any Microsoft connections. Also, hosts has never worked for blocking m$ IPs. This isn't exclusive to 10.

All updates past sp1.
Just install sp1 and crt update, disable the client for microsoft networks (smb) and you're good.
Jackson Hill
Hmm, no. I have it installed and never faced any issues.
Daniel Parker
Install LongHorn instead, or CentOS.

There's some 100MB Linux though (not memory used, whole system). W7 is way bigger.

install size isn't any indicator of quality imo
Evan Thompson
Any released in 2016 or later

Update a vanilla Windows 7 Pro SP1 ISO install.wim with this:
and you're good to go, no bad/useless/shitty updates ever.
