Lord, we don’t any windmills
There are windmills and turbines enough to turn
There are panels and hydros enough to burn, enough to last, ‘til the end of time
What the world needs now, is gas, sweet gas
It’s the only thing that there's just too little of

Ignore the "NOT A HTTPS" website, it's getting there.
Latest forecast track map for Alfred has it making a sharp turn on Tuesday and landfall on Thursday.

Yes, I know it's not https, they're working on it.
You will continue to receive Windows Defender updates. I have a Windows 8.1 tablet that keeps updating Microsoft Defender antivirus. It's only used to connect to RTSP streams for music.
Ah yes, that's a concern - but I have a job in Task Scheduler that re-writes my registry tweaks - mostly changing various tasks back to "disabled". You can trigger it hourly, or on an event. As soon as a selected event - such as a telemetry switch-on - hits the event log, the "disable" script runs.
There's other ways, like taking ownership of the executables and changing permissions to lock out the "SYSTEM" account.
And pihole blocks DNS resolution of the telemetry harvesters as well. Windows update won't touch that. It's not 100% effective, but I couldn't be bothered to take it further.
That's why you build a ringworld instead.
Or the slightly more achievable version - Ringworld.

What I like about pihole vs. dedicated ad-blockers, is that a pihole can block telemetry as well. There are lists of Microsoft and other data-gatherers you can import, and even if you can't stop the data collection, it dead-ends the attempts to upload it.
