I will only use this if it uses Clippy's animations.

Thats... what this is, right?

Clippy 3.0?

It should also highlight code!

When I have to boot into Win11, I run this right after as a shortcut from my desktop (right-click and Run As Administrator):

net stop usosvc
sc config usosvc start=disabled
net stop wuauserv
sc config wuauserv start=disabled

.. be sure to set your Wifi points as metered to block Update as well.

Note that anytime you go into certain Settings / Control Panel pages, Win11 silently re-enables the above services! Crazy. (Someone should really write a patch for that...)

Sad anyone has to put up with this BS but, we do what we gotta do.

Those are update services. Upgrading your os is a basic security measure nowadays. You recommend to sacrifice some security because of a minor inconvenience. It's alright if you can live with that tradeoff, but please don't recommend it on the internet. Windows assumes a user is not knowledgeable enough about this topic, so it's enabled for them.

Other hint, because it seems you are also not very knowledgeable about this topic, usually you can disable these things with group policies if you really want to, so you don't have to run it after each boot. Or you can also set up a scheduled task or create a service with nssm.
