Disable "Send your device data to Microsoft" Oh shit you can't ... (Read the end user agreement, you have no rights when you use Microsoft products)
Turn off search suggestions, Disable all Cortana BS.
Do not use Edge or IE. Switch search engine away from bing. Duckduckgo.com is a good one. Do not login to the browser with microsoft account. Offline accounts with a password are more secure than cloud accounts.

Disable ALL usage reports.
Disable "Send Microsoft diagnostic and troubleshooting data"
Disable "Help improve Microsoft by submitting anonymous blah blah blah"
