Ok so here it is.
DISCLAIMER
I am not an expert and based all the decisions on the information provided in the privacy.sexy program on my own judgement. I STRONGLY advise to read each and everyone one of the option if you want to use the “STRICT” option. Also, because everyone uses different programs. For example, the strict option removes some Windows Defender and Windows Update stuff that might not be desired, especially in the “privacy over security” section. For instance, I disabled the automatic driver updates, because I have NVinstall and update the rest via other means then Windows Update. Again, even if it takes about 2 hours to go through the options, it is necessary if you go ahead with the privacy.sexy strict option.
Here’s what I did (Windows 11 Home) and I didn’t encounter any breakage.
