Like disabling the search and superfetch services.

According to ars technica that does not stop the spyware or background communication with Microsoft. Using a host file to stop it would seem like a good idea, but that will also stop things like security updates and other important services. The script I have seen to stop it will only partially stopstop it.

Updates come from a different host than the telemetry target, so you're okay there.

Search and Super fetch specifically need to be stopped to reduce all the storage snooping.

I'm not saying it's easy, but it can be done.
